That doesn't necessarily tell you anything about what happens when you
try to log in via ssh (which creates a new session and requires an
independent login).  Again, the fact that Cygwin shows you a different
user name already tells you that there is something quite different from
when you are in the office.  If you can strace id you might get a clue
of what is going on with the queries to the AD sever in both cases
(i.e. what server it asks and whether it gets an answer).

Yes, you can force a home directory via config files, but you should
keep in mind that this can fail in even more mysterious ways should the
environment change again.
