This is not normal, it is broken. It means you have added them. This is a
problem. I recommend that you delete your group_mapping.tdb file, let
samba re-create it, and then modify the mappings so that:

Domain Admins == UNIX GID=0 group
Domain Users == UNIX 'users' group
Domain Guests == UNIX group 'nobody'

You can create additional Domain groups as required.

I hope this helps.
