I am experiencing much the same issue; wbinfo -u/-g works but getent
passwd/group only contains a very partial user list and querying a
specific user causes the WBC_ERR_DOMAIN_NOT_FOUND error.  Although
otherwise the domain is functional and there are active workstations.

Did you every identify a solution?
