Sorry, but that is not enough, you need lines for the DOMAIN

No, those lines are perfectly correct for the '*' domain (which is
basically the Well known SIDs and anything outside the DOMAIN)
If you do not have any uidNumber & gidNumber attributes in AD (and you
wont have, unless somebody added them, they do not 'magically' appear),
you will need lines like these:
idmap config YOUR_DOMAIN : backend = rid
idmap config YOUR_DOMAIN : range = 10000-999999
