If you set the option:
wafl.nt_admin_priv_map_to_root
to "off" you will no longer be creating files as root. If you do this, but you still want all powers over the filer from NT you will have to put your username into the BUILTIN\Administrators group in the filers local user database.
That is one way to solve the problem that I know of, there may be others.

Does anyone know why if you are a domain admin and you write a file via cifs, the file gets saved as owner root. Is there a way to fix this ???

Is there any kind of limitation on the maximum UID a netapp can handle? I.e. if I have a userid with a UID of 128900 is the netapp going to freak out, or does it have some 64-bit size limit?

ONTAP supports 32-bit uids & gids, which are the largest you can get through NFS v2/v3 anyway. It's done so at least since ONTAP 3.x (although I recall some problem with "dump" and/or "restore" truncating them mod 65536 in 3.1.6).
We regularly use uids & gids larger than 65536: up to 85000 at the moment, but I've tested it with far larger values.
If anything, the ONTAP quota system is rather more forgiving of very sparsely allocated uids than your typical Unix system. I can't think of any other data structures on the filer itself actually indexed by uid.
