This can result in users not a member of "random group" will not be able to access content on sysvol. Therefore it is mandatory that these security groups are mapped to the same gid on all dc's the sysvol conted is replicated.

Mapping BUILTIN in 4.2 has no impact but I assume the ACL's are read from the security.NTACL xattr so "Authenticated Users" should always have access because the xattr stores SID's and not the xid's. xattrs should be replicated with rsync without any mapping required.

Since vfs_acl_xattr is in use samba is said to keep the posix acl's in sync with the acl's stored in the security.NTACL xattr object. (https://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/manpages/vfs_acl_xattr.8.html) If i sync from an dc with different mappings in idmap.ldb the posix acl's seem to have precedence over the xattr values, so they can mess up things in an way that some security groups can gain read or ever write rights because of the different mappings. An easy fix is adding acl_xattr:ignore system acls = Yes to the sysvol section in smb.conf. Posix ACL's are now ignored and only the ACL's from the xattr are used.
