If you mean the large numbers that sssd seems to use, then that is 
probably not possible with Samba. From my understanding, sssd uses an 
algorithm that uses a combination of the domain SID and the user/group 
RID to calculate the Unix ID, or it uses the RFC2307 attributes. Samba 
calculates from the user/group RID + the lower range you set in 
smb.conf, or it uses the RFC2307 attributes.

Can I ask why you asked ?
