Recently, we have found it necessary to join all of the Linux systems in our data center to our centralized AD Domain. In order to accomplish this, we ended up utilizing winbind to authenticate AD users onto the machines. For the most part, this solution seems to be working well for the systems we have tested it on. However, we are running into the problem that our systems have a lot of local user accounts on them that have equivalent accounts present in active directory, but since winbind requires the uids to be different for a local account and a domain account, these accounts are not synchronized. So my question is, is there a way for me to sync these accounts so that present group member

We have an Active Directory domain controller server with its own DNS server that all of the windows machines are connected to and a Linux BIND DNS Server that the Linux machines are all connected to.

As you can probably guess this occasionally causes some problems, such as the Linux machines not being able to talk to active directory on the windows machines. So what I'm trying to figure out is if there is any way I can get our two DNS Servers (AD and BIND) to sort of talk to each other and share their machines with each other. (Sorry if this is something simple, but I wasn't
