Why use RID. I cant use RID.. And RID is bad in my opionion. 
Sure if you have one server RID, fine but multple servers, well dont use RID
RID is just a cheap way to make things work. 
And ( in my opinion) the biggest dis-advantage of RID isnt even on the RID page. 
But you can find that on the backend AD page as advantage.

So imagine your in stress your server went down. 
Now you setting up a new one, restoring backups, hastly you let your users connect and..

Everything is wrong, all you ACL's are messed up. 

The biggest dis-advantage...

Im still waiting for Rowland's its patch to go in samba. 
Its just crazy that even when we can use and add UnixAttributes, its not stored in the AD. 
This would help so much if its in, maintaining UID/GIDs manualy is not an option, that's crazyness
And forces you into RID, but this is my personal opinion.

I dont like RID backends in general, but you can use it. 
It all depends on your needs and what your willing to risk what and where.

? Uhm,, acl_xattr and the permissions might not be set locally.? 

What did i miss here? 
the permissions might not be set locally.?  But then where are the stored?

15 years for me now, im replacing the server, i wrote a manual for 15y ago. 

Here the windows xp, windows 7 and windows 10 do work, do login without problems. 
Only the drivermappings are shown disabled so now and then. 

And this shift users, so what happend, I really dont know, but the simple net use command
Fix my problem, the problem is only with 1 server, and that runs a samba 3.6.6 
Im replacing it this week. Finaly. 


Greetz,
