Dear Luke,

Thanks for your advise.

However, the problem is that the <domain> has more than 5000 entries.  I
wonder if there is anyway to specify the exact entry that you want to
retrieve the information for.  I do not understand how MS domain work, but
should there be a way you can retrieve entry by keyword?

Thanks again,
Hung.

Try specifying the domain to which you belong explicitly:

mkpasswd -d DOMAIN >> /etc/passwd
