So, it is (yet again) a computer trying to get a uid, which as I said is 
possible, because computers are users, but not normally to Linux.

I don't use GPO's, so I don't know how the GPO code identifies 
computers, but if a uid is required, then it looks like most of the 
idmap backends will have to be rewritten.

If the uid isn't required, then something should be done to stop that 
annoying error message, which David has said is a likely outcome of his 
new GPO code, so we will just have to await that.
