I must be missing something here.  If what you say above is true, then why does the WiKi advise adding the "winbind enum" lines to the smb.conf in order for the getent commands to show all AD users and groups?     Also your other answer in this thread seems to contradict this as well.   I certainly cannot get the list to include AD users and groups without the enum lines.

So what settings "when set up correctly" allow getent to display all users and groups (without the 'enum' lines)?
