My configuration has Samba domain controllers, not Windows domain controllers, so my setup may not be applicable to you.

However, in order for unix to use windows groups I believe it needs to use "getent group" to pull the information from winbind. First of all, you need to make sure that winbind itself is showing users and/or groups from the Windows server

    "wbinfo -u"
    "wbinfo -g"

Then you need to make sure that /etc/nsswitch.conf has been updated for winbind e.g

    passwd:     files ldap winbind
    group:      files ldap winbind


nsswitch.conf is used by things like getent and id.


If you are using pam_smb (I have not) the above information may not be relative.

Hi,

No, it does not.


However, the id command displays only the primary group for domain
users.
Furthermore,  domain users  are not able to access any files owned by

For example, running
$ id petert
results in the following output:
uid=10000(petert) gid=10009(domain users) groups=10009(domain users)
