If you use winbind for NSS, it will look up users and groups
opportunistically, make up a uid/gid for them as it goes, and cache the
results so they remain consistent, but only consistent on that one
machine.

If you want consistent results across the network, use nss_ldap pointed
at your AD server(s).  You'll need the SFU schema applied, but it sounds
like you've done that.

Cheers,
