From BASH ($USERNAME and $USERDOMAIN are correct):
 $ mkpasswd -d -u $USERNAME $USERDOMAIN
 mkpasswd: [2453] Could not find domain controller for this domain.

From CMD:
 C:\cygwin>bin\mkpasswd -d -u %USERNAME% %USERDOMAIN%
 mkpasswd: [2453] Could not find domain controller for this domain.

I think this is a different problem, since we're not using LMHOSTS.
