Michael,

RID is equal to (UID*2)+1000. This is required for machine accounts, and is
not needed for user accounts. If the RID is incorrect, the machine will not
be able to join the doma. PrimaryGID is the id of the primary group the
account is in. You will need to create a group (posixGroup schema).
