It disables roaming profile

According to https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Configuring_Winbindd_on_a_Samba_AD_DC:
"Identity Mapping works different on a Samba domain controller (DC)
than on a domain member. For example, setting up an ID mapping back
end, such as ad (RFC2307) or rid, in the smb.conf file is not
supported an can cause the samba service to fail.
 For details, see Accessing Shares on Domain Controllers Having idmap
config Parameters Set in the smb.conf File Fails." (At the and, it is
a wrong link, but there is a paragraph related this topic:
https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Updating_Samba#Failure_To_Access_Shares_on_Domain_Controllers_If_idmap_config_Parameters_Set_in_the_smb.conf_File)
This is why I removed the idmap  config entries from the dc3 smb.conf.
"On a Samba Active Directory DC, Winbindd always reads the user IDs
(UID) and group IDs (GID) from the values set in the uidNumber and
gidNumber attributes set in the AD objects. For users and groups not
having a UID or GID assigned, an ID is generated locally on the DC and
stored in the /usr/local/samba/private/idmap.ldb file."
There isn't uidNumber, and gidNumber in my users' objects.
If you are correct, then the documentation is wrong/outdated.
