You have to fill the stuff in the unix attributes tab in ADUC.

It it isn't there, you haven't provisioned your domain with 
--use-rfc2307. You enable the NIS extension later (not tried):

If you have filled the attributes in AD (UID, home, etc.) have a look here:

As an alternative you can setup sssd instead of Winbind and retrieve the 
account data from AD:
