Puppet users - Jun 2013 - Manage users with Winbind (Samba) installed

Hi!

I want to manage all local user accounts on my Samba DC. So I add to my 
node two resources like this:

resources {''user'':
purge => true,
unless_system_user => 999,
}
file {''/home'':
ensure => directory,
owner => ''root'',
group => ''root'',
mode => 0644,
force => true,
purge => true,
recurse => true,
recurselimit => 1,
}

Ok, after that I have only managed known accounts. But then I change 
nsswitch.conf to get users from winbind, Puppet start to generate a lot of 
errors like this:

Error: Could not delete user TEST3\Guest: Execution of
''/usr/sbin/userdel
TEST3\Guest'' returned 1: userdel: cannot remove entry
''TEST3\Guest'' from
/etc/passwd

How can I fix it? I need to tell Puppet to remove only users with ID from 
1000 to 2999999 (because from 3000000 starts winbind mapping) and not to 
try to remove winbind users.

Have you considered writing a suitable user provider? 

Cheers,
