How to set a GID on a group that is out of the range set in the Control Center -
Description
How do I set a GID for a group that is outside the standard range for the environment. For example a GID of 75 but the GID range that is set is from 100-200. -
Resolution
There are two methods for how you can do this. You can use ADSI edit on Windows or from one of your joined clients you can run:
vastool -u administrator setattrs -g <gidres> gidnumber <gid>
where <gidres> is the name of your group for which you are changing the attribute and <gid> is the new GID.
