It connects to the NT user database using official NT calls without any interest who's actually running it. The list should reflect the local user database. The only thing I can think of is that your users are domain users while mkpasswd is called with option -l which only dumps the local users. The domain users have to be retrieved by using mkpasswd -d domain.
