[Samba] UNIX attribute UID no longer increments with RSAT

This is with Windows 7.

I found the issue. I have another admin who creates users in AD. This
user did not have the proper permissions to update this attribute with
RSAT. I can't recall the error they received, but it mentioned not
having permissions to update this field( I will get so as to post and
update in this thread). Event though they were advised they do not have
permissions, the UID was updated in Samba anyways(Possible security
bug?). I verified it was in samba by using wbinfo.

To correct the issue, I manually incremented the new users UID to the
next available one in Samba. This allowed RSAT to automatically
increment the UID on a subsequent user I tested on.
