No you don't, you get 'xidNumber' attributes in the '3000000' range set 
in idmap.ldb. These are only used on Samba AD DC's

Not without changing the Samba code ;-)

Why have you got the deprecated 'winbind nss-info' line meant for a Unix 
domain member in your AD DC smb.conf ?

You can actually, just not as easy as using the Unix Attributes tab on 
earlier versions, You also wouldn't be modifying the Unix attributes, 
you would need to add them, they are not added by default.

Try that on a Unix domain member running the winbind 'ad' backend and I 
am sure you would get nothing returned.
