[Samba] How to join join Ubuntu desktop to AD

[Data Control Systems - Mike Elkevizth]

I believe it did, but I had issues with offline logins, so I stopped using
winbind and switched to sssd.  I can confirm that it does work now with
sssd.

getent passwd mae
mae:*:3000:2001:Michael A. Elkevizth:/home/DCS/mae:/bin/bash

getent passwd row (disabled user)
row:*:3001:2001:Robert O. Webster:/home/DCS/row:/bin/false

Regards,

Mike E.

Does getent return data for a domain user?
