samba - Dec 2022 - R: group 'Domain User' has changed rid in a new server

Rowland thanks a lot.
This choice arrive from an old samba 3 installed many years ago, i think quite
20 years, then upgraded, upgraded and upgraded.
The problem is not how to change rights on files but how can i change
PrimaryGroupID on all users ??

There is no sane way of doing this.

You could use the 'ad' idmap backend and give every user a uidNumber 
attribute containing a unique number and Domain Users a gidNumber 
attribute containing '513'

Your idmap config line would have to be something like this:

idmap config DOMAIN : range = 500-9999999

I cannot recommend doing this, it removes the possibility of any local 
Unix users.

It will be a lot more work (and it will be ongoing) than changing the 
group ownership of the files through a script.
