Examples described herein are generally directed towards generating, allocating, and assigning consistent file server user identifiers (IDs) (also described herein as a global identifier (GID)) domains subscribed to by file server(s) within a distributed file server environment. In operation, a virtualized file server of a distributed file server system may scan for and identify a trusted domain subscribed to by the virtualized file server. The virtualized file server may allocate to the trusted domain a range of file server user IDs. The virtualized file server may store a mapping between local user security identifiers (SIDs) in the trusted domain and a respective file server user IDs within the allocated range. The virtualized file server may provide the mapping to a replication target, such as during a replication, migration, and/or a disaster recovery event.
