Create an ldif file, call it something like update.ldif dn: CN=<lowercase-domain-name>,CN=ypservers,CN=ypServ30,CN=RpcServices,CN=System,DC=example,DC=com changetype: modify replace: msSFU30MaxUidNumber msSFU30MaxUidNumber: <start number> - changetype: modify replace: msSFU30MaxGidNumber msSFU30MaxGidNumber: <start number> replace <lowercase-domain-name> with your domain/workgroup name. replace DC=example,DC=com with your rootdse. replace <start number> with the number that you want your ID numbers to start at. Now add the ldif: ldbmodify --url=/var/lib/samba/private/sam.ldb /path/to/your/ldif replace /path/to/your/ldif with the path to your ldif i.e. if your ldif is in roots dir and you named it as suggested '/root/update.ldif' You may also have to change the path to sam.ldb. If you now go to ADUC and open a UNIX_Attribute tab, it should now contain an ID number. Rowland
Thanks for your advice regarding modifying the ldb. Before I do that I have to tell that uids and gids are automatically assigned in ADUC Unix tab. All have to do is to choose the NIS domain. After changing this field all other Unix attributes are automatially filled in. So this works. I tried something different for testing: I added a user with samba-tool using a script and assigned a random (based on date) number for uid: Script add-ad-user: samba-tool user create $1 --uid-number=$(date +%H%M%S) Calling the script add-ad-user test1 Something interesting happens: The random uid is assigned to that user in rfc2307. Both DC's have this same uid when I do "wbinfo -i test1". The unix tab of ADUC remains empty. I added "add user script = /path/to/script/add-ad-user %u" to smb.conf in global section but unfortunatly it doesn't work. I guess due to the servers role of AD Controller. If a domain is provisioned with rfc2307 it seems to me just a small step of setting uid in rfc2307 when a user or group is created by ADUC. Something for Samba Devs?

Create an ldif file, call it something like update.ldif dn: CN=<lowercase-domain-name>,CN=ypservers,CN=ypServ30,CN=RpcServices,CN=System,DC=example,DC=com changetype: modify replace: msSFU30MaxUidNumber msSFU30MaxUidNumber: <start number> - changetype: modify replace: msSFU30MaxGidNumber msSFU30MaxGidNumber: <start number> replace <lowercase-domain-name> with your domain/workgroup name. replace DC=example,DC=com with your rootdse. replace <start number> with the number that you want your ID numbers to start at. Now add the ldif: ldbmodify --url=/var/lib/samba/private/sam.ldb /path/to/your/ldif replace /path/to/your/ldif with the path to your ldif i.e. if your ldif is in roots dir and you named it as suggested '/root/update.ldif' You may also have to change the path to sam.ldb. If you now go to ADUC and open a UNIX_Attribute tab, it should now contain an ID number. Rowland ?
