I think both of these may be caused by the same thing.

On a DC, Administrator is mapped in idmap.ldb, if you open this with
ldbedit and search for 500 (Administrators RID), you should find
something like this:

dn: CN=S-1-5-21-1768301897-3342589593-1064908849-500
cn: S-1-5-21-1768301897-3342589593-1064908849-500
objectClass: sidMap
objectSid: S-1-5-21-1768301897-3342589593-1064908849-500
type: ID_TYPE_UID
xidNumber: 0
distinguishedName: CN=S-1-5-21-1768301897-3342589593-1064908849-500

As you can see, The SID-500 is mapped to the xidNumber '0' and as we
all know, this the ID number for root.

I suggest you check in idmap.ldb on the DC that you have something like
the above. Also check that Administrators object in AD doesn't have a
uidNumber attribute, it shouldn't have and probably doesn't, but check
anyway

To get 'getent' to show users on the DC, you need to have
libnss_winbind set up just like on a domain member.
