 Hi


*smdb, winbindd Version 4.13.14-Ubuntu 20.4.3 LTS *

I am struggling to get a newly installed AD member server to allow access
to its shares. I am seeing this error in the connecting hosts log file:
"check_account: Failed to convert SID
S-1-5-21-4100087049-264025-2419064500-1164
to a UID (dom_user[MYDOM\auser])"

The log.winbindd-idmap file has this error:
Error allocating a new GID
Fatal Error: GID range full!! (max: 7999)

`wbinfo -u` returns a list of users. However `wbinfo -i` gives the
following warning:

Name              :  MYDOM
Alt_Name          : mydom.local
SID               : S-1-5-21-4119587049-2642091325-2419064500
Active Directory  : Yes
Native            : Yes
Primary           : Yes
failed to call wbcGetpwnam: WBC_ERR_DOMAIN_NOT_FOUND
Could not get info for user auser

Another worrying sign is that `getent passwd auser` returns nothing.

I thought I'd set-up the server correctly following
https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Setting_up_Samba_as_a_Domain_Member
instructions but perhaps I've missed something.

Can anyone offer any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
Dermot
