mkgroup_l_d:S-1-5-32-545:10545:

A Google search for
GID 10545
implies that this is 'Domain Users'.

Not that it should make a big difference, but you might want to edit
your /etc/group and change
mkgroup_l_d:S-1-5-32-545:10545:
to
Domain Users:S-1-5-32-545:10545:
or however you prefer
dusers:S-1-5-32-545:10545:
domain_users:S-1-5-32-545:10545:

Just something other than mkgroup_l_d
