Are you able to request just your own account as in

  mkpasswd -g -u <yourname>?

I assume your servers are running a active directory domain?  It's
possible that your admin(s) did restrict access to the network
managment functionality so that could be a reason you're unable to
get that info.

If so, create a /etc/passwd entry by hand.  It should look like

  jatis:<uid>:<gid>:U-PALO-ALTO\JATIS,<SID>:/home/jatis:/bin/bash

How to get the SID?  Just look into the registry:

  ls -l /proc/registry/HKEY_USERS

There are two registry keys begining with S-1-5-21-.  Use the one
w/o the trailing "_Classes".  Use the last number as uid.  Enter
10513 as gid.  Edit /etc/group.

Add or modify a group 10513:

  domusers:<SID>:10513:

As SID use the same as for your user entry, except for the last
number in the SID, which you have used for your uid.  Replace it
by 513.

Example:

$ ls -l /proc/registry/HKEY_USERS
total 0
dr-xr-x---   14 root     SYSTEM          0 Jun 30 16:34 S-1-5-21-1844237615-436374069-1060284298-1003
dr-xr-x---    1 root     SYSTEM          0 Feb 24 17:25 S-1-5-21-1844237615-436374069-1060284298-1003_Classes

==> /etc/passwd:

jatis:1003:10513:U-PALO-ALTO\JATIS,S-1-5-21-1844237615-436374069-1060284298-1003:/home/jatis:/bin/bash

==> /etc/group:

domusers:S-1-5-21-1844237615-436374069-1060284298-513:10513:


Perhaps that helps,
