There's really nothing special you need to do.

Sounds to me like your /etc/passwd file doesn't contain your domain account
name or, if it does, it's the same name as a local user and comes later in
the file. Cygwin will only recognize one entry per user name in
/etc/passwd. If you want to keep two, you'll need to shuffle the one you
want to use to be before the one you don't want to use. It's probably
easier to rename the domain account to another name in /etc/passwd though,
assuming that's your problem.
