No, idmap_rid calculates the Unix ID from the user or group RID, and the 
RID is unlikely to be the same as the the user or group UNIX ID now. You 
could use the idmap_ad and set the current Unix ID as the users 
uidNumber attribute and the groups gidNumber attribute.

There is a way of updating an NT4-style domain to a Samba AD domain, you 
do this with 'samba-tool domain classicupgrade'
