I think that could very well be your problem, you have these lines in 
the smb.conf on your member server:

         idmap config CCENTER : backend = ad
         idmap config CCENTER : schema_mode = rfc2307
         idmap config CCENTER : range = 1000-50000

What they mean is, use the winbind 'ad' backend with rfc2307 attributes 
and ignore any uidNumbers & gidNumbers that fall outside the range 
'1000-50000'

'513' is less than '1000' so will be ignored, and as 'Domain Users' is 
the users primary group and must have a valid gidNumber, all users are 
ignored.

Try this, give 'Domain Users' a larger gidNumber:

ldbedit -e nano -H /var/lib/samba/private/sam.ldb '(cn=Domain Users)'

Change 'gidNumber: 513'

To 'gidNumber: 10513'

Now try 'getent passwd domainuser'
