The first line of this output is this (with some minor elisions):


<mydomain>+User(1944941):*:2993517:2993517:U-<mydomain>\User(1944941),S-1-5-21-2057499049-1289676208-1959431660-1944941:/:/sbin/nologin


This does seem to correspond to having a homedir of "/".

I don't know what this looked like before.
