Thanks very much Dale, I was using the tdb backend. I read the docs but I'm not clear on whether the configuration can simply be retrofitted to both servers or whether changes to the data itself will be needed. I did make a quick test but aside from ownerships showing as 'user' rather than 'DOMAIN\user' nothing changed in respect of missing UIDs/GIDs. BTW the ultimate aim of was is to validate a server that will actually replace a single ADS domain member. This being the case I suppose I could back up the relevant tdb files, do a leave on the existing server, join the new one and copy the tdbs into place? Still, if I can use idmap_rid without undue hassle it's clearly a better solution.
