Well I am not really sure exactly what I should be seeing. I think the

appears to be an entry for every single group in the company but it
stops at G - this must be where I had hit CTRL+C to break out of the
command.
Right. Makes sense.
Should my ID output be the same as when I log into a unix server here,
or would it be different? My cygwin is running on a Windows workstation
so maybe it is grabbing my AD groups as opposed to my NIS groups.
The former. Cygwin operates on Windows to create a POSIXy environment
on Windows. It's not a Linux/UNIX VM running on Windows.
