Can you please let us know about your nss configuration
/etc/nsswitch.conf . IMHO it looks ok that the administrators is the
primary group and also in the groups enumeration.

you can't find primary groups for a user with your command, grepping
throug "getent group" . In modern systems aka sssd it is not a good
idea, because enumeration ist by default set to false.

]# grep -Ev "^\#|^$" /etc/nsswitch.conf
passwd:     files sss ldap
shadow:     files sss ldap
group:      files sss ldap
hosts:      files dns
bootparams: nisplus [NOTFOUND=return] files
ethers:     files
netmasks:   files
networks:   files
protocols:  files
rpc:        files
services:   files sss
netgroup:   files sss ldap
publickey:  nisplus
automount:  files ldap
aliases:    files nisplus

The user has been removed from the groups Administrators so it should not show.

I do not use sssd as our LDAP is not secured so I use nscd.  This LDAP is confined a lab.

Thanks,
