You are missing the point, an AD computer is a user with an extra
objectclass, the 'computer' objectclass

rowland at devstation:~$ getent passwd devstation$
devstation$:*:12657:10515::/home/devstation_:/bin/bash

If I run 'cat /etc/cron.d/sysstat', I get this:

# The first element of the path is a directory where the debian-sa1
# script is located
PATH=/usr/lib/sysstat:/usr/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin

# Activity reports every 10 minutes everyday
5-55/10 * * * * root command -v debian-sa1 > /dev/null && debian-sa1 1 1

# Additional run at 23:59 to rotate the statistics file
59 23 * * * root command -v debian-sa1 > /dev/null && debian-sa1 60 2
