I will check it out Monday at work. But I do remember trying to join with
realmd and it was asking
for Administrator password. I also tried with -U <mycuid> and it did not
let me join.

I have to see if IT is willing to provide us a "machine account" to join
our Linux servers

if that is a success that AD SID will automatically used to generate
UID/GID, I think, correct?

Assuming AD can be used as auth and id provider, then I will need to find a
solution to setup a proxy to AD, so all my 100+ servers
do not need to setup with firewall and manage access. This last piece
deserves a separate new email, so not looking for an answer for this.

Appreciate your help!
