There's another problem with those accounts.  If they act like a domain
account, but there's no valid domain info on the machine (*), then who
should Cygwin ask for shell and home dir?

(*) That's the cause of the "Unknown domain AzureAD".  Usually the local
    machine has a list of domains which is refreshed once in a while.
    Even the local machine SAM is a domain in this view.

    However, while the LookupAccountSid function seems to return
    "AzureAD" as the domain name for this account, the domain list on
    the local machine does not contain this domain.
