Getent will only show accounts with a uidnumber and gidnumber. Administrator in new install does not have these.

Subject: [Samba] getent only displays local users & groups

I have read numerous posts regarding this issue without finding a
resolution. I have a fresh Samba AD DC & a Samba Member server. the
member server has been setup using idmap config ad

wbinfo -u & wbinfo -g both work and list the domain users & groups
getent passwd & getent group both only display the local member server
users and groups

From what I have read I understand getent passwd & getent group should
display the domain users & groups. "getent passwd administrator"
returns nothing

Any help would be greatly appreciated...
