Found it:
getent passwd "NT SERVICE+MariaDB"
NT SERVICE+MariaDB:*:354079:354079:U-NT
SERVICE\MariaDB,S-1-5-80-3070791953-3247979545-275873789-2352004973-969172767:/:/sbin/nologin

How can I "getent passwd" or mkpasswd to list these "NT SERVICE"
accounts? mkpasswd -u "NT SERVICE+MariaDB" does NOT work.
