 Yes.. That's why I agree it is a stupid name for domain :-) But we have
been using the abbreviation for about 25 years, many years before than I
found there exists something like NIS/YP :-) Bad luck. Yes, it is confusing
for an IT people, but users do not care and they are used to it.

Maybe more checks or options to classicupgrade process would prevent
keeping such mistakes?

Because of
passwd:   files winbind
group:    files winbind

in nsswitch.conf   (I believe I followed samba wiki)

and there is games:20 in /etc/group

I am talking about Linux DM (fileserver) configuration now, it is NOT
nsswitch.conf on AD DC.

But as I have said, there is no real need for users in AD to have primary
group of 20, I can change it to "Domain users", if it helps. (Ok, in this
case, the next question will be how to do it for one user from command
line, because I have 1000+ users, so no GUI mouse clicking action wanted.)

(Sorry, answered this in separate post too, ignore the answer there,
please.)

 All our AD users have both uidNumbers and gidNumbers according to our
hp-ux unix. Users had been created on hp-ux primary. History and long story.

I am not sure for 100%, because I have not checked local passwd vs AD user
unix attributes, but AFAIK domain users' idnumbers and usernames are only
in AD. They should be only in AD, I do not have intent to have AD users in
local system  files.

Both AD DC (ad1) and DM (samba4) are identical OS. in a fact, I created
both of them from template in our vmware and I did not bother what Centos
version it is. I did not think it might matter.

Yes, I believe I copied it from samba wiki and I did my best to follow it
(samba wiki) also in bind configuration. DNS resolving seems to be working
and newly added machines are inserted into AD DNS zone.

bind.x86_64                          32:9.9.4-61.el7                   @base

Thank you very much for your interest and patience, really :-)
