[Samba] idmap problems

Many thanks Rowland. Yes, I don't understand idmaps, but I _think_ I'm getting it. I have added the gid of 60002 for Domain Admins and undertaken some 'chgrp' tasks. I've now got a domain member with shares that presents the correct ownership. All looks good.
I'm still slightly confused why I have two ranges within my member smb.conf:
idmap config * : backend = tdb
idmap config * : range = 3000-29999 ========> reserved for BUILTIN ??? (and '3000000' range on the DC?)
idmap config SAMDOM:backend = ad
idmap config SAMDOM:schema_mode = rfc2307
idmap config SAMDOM:range = 30000-99999 ========> my uid/gid range for SAMDOM local domain accounts ???
If I only require the domain user/admin accounts, I don't understand the need for the first (BUILTIN?) range.

This shows that 'Domain Admins' doesn't have a 'gidNumer' attribute

Whilst 'Domain Users' does

Why, if the users have have a 'uidNumber' attribute, are they different between the DC and the Unix domain member ?
Also, why isn't the template shell being used on the Unix domain member ?

I would suggest creating a new group e.g. Unix Admins, add this group to Domain Admins, give the new group a gidNumber attribute and use this group on Unix instead of Domain Admins.
OK, you have problems, one being that you don't understand the differences between how idmap works on a DC and a Unix domain member.
on a DC, the ID mapping is done in idmap.ldb using 'xidNumber'
attributes (the '3000000' numbers) and these will be different on each DC.
On a Unix domain member using the winbind 'ad' backend, you will need to add 'uidNumber' & 'gidNumber' attributes. These numbers will need to be inside the range you set in smb.conf (in your case '6000-9999999') anything outside the range will be ignored.
You do not need to use different ranges for users & groups.
If you do give a user a 'uidNumber' attribute, or a group a 'gidNumber'
attribute, these will be used on a DC instead of the 'xidNumber'
attributes, though you will probably need to run 'net cache flush'
