SOLVED !!!
here the step

After these steps now idmap use rid.

I would:
- Switch from AD to Local users.
- Wipe the permissions under File access tab / reset of each shares settings section.
- Join AD with "trusted domain" unchecked.
- Check smb.conf that it's using rid instead of tdb.
- Reapply the permissions: https://kb.netgear.com/7066/ReadyNAS-OS-6-Setting-Active-Directory-folder-permissions
If smb.conf still uses tdb, I can try to confirm how to manually change it.

I wish this would behave differently...
Try to edit smb.conf to replace tdb by: rid
Then: net cache flush
Then start the steps again. If you get to rid, the mapping table should be calculated consistently across both devices.

- Edit /etc/samba/smb.conf to replace tdb by: rid
