ID Management for Unix for SMB and NFS cross protocol - Alternative Mapping Solution?

$

Per link, it says that IDMU is deprecated in Win Server 2016 and up. Is there a simple alternative solution to map Unix ID's with Windows ID's so that I can share my files across both SMB and NFS? Without a mapping store, file permissions would not correctly be honored between users unix users and windows users.

According to the blog post (and several other sources), it mentions that the UID/GID entries will still exist moving froward. But there's no mention of how to setup up the mapping alternatives. It also alludes to possibly using the UID/GID attributes with NFS Server for ID mapping, but I'm trying to find steps on performing this. 

"For example, you may require the RFC 2307 attributes in combination with Network File System (NFS) Server (which does not require NIS Server role to be installed on Windows Server) to map the identity."

Any help for steps on performing this would be greatly appreciated.
