okay, try changing this in /etc/nsswitch.conf:

passwd:         files winbind systemd
group:          files winbind systemd
shadow:         files winbind

To this:

NSS configuration is simple:

passwd:         files winbind
group:          files winbind
shadow:         files

make sure that 'smbd' & 'winbind' are running.

Providing the there is a user called 'manuelb' in AD, winbind should
show the user with 'getent passwd AGENZIA+manuelb'
