Update:
- I tried installing cygserver as a service but problem persists.
- Also tried verifying the user in the domain with net user. While getent fails to find my user, net user finds it with no issues.
- Tried installing and configuring krb5-workstation but it didn’t help as well.

Will appreciate any other leads to check...

Thanks

Running cygserver will also cache info and speed up processing if you run many:

- service daemons under Cygwin, especially cron jobs or ssh sessions
- concurrent processes, especially deeply nested, forked, or background
  (some cron jobs background subprocesses *heavily* to reduce run time)
- XSI IPC message queues
- semaphores
- shared memory segments

otherwise that has to be managed by either the process itself or the root parent process, possibly in parallel threads.
