You can safely ignore the warning, but you really should fix the ranges, 
they must not overlap and yours do not just overlap, one is totally 
inside the other.

Your setup is one reason why I think it is probably better to set up a 
new AD domain, rather than upgrading an NT4-style domain.

As you have uidNumbers that start at '500' (I take it that they do start
at 500) and you have set the end range to '999999', you are going to 
have to start the default '*' range well above that, say 
'2000000-2002000'. You will still be unable to have any local Unix users
(the ones in /etc/passwd), so you will have to enable root.

Sorry Rowland, if i adopt this
