[Samba] Unable to add computer to domain

[Craig White]

It might be helpful to put cards on table here...

ldapsearch -x -h localhost -D 'whatever_your_bind_dn' \
-W '(uid=server02*)'

getent passwd |grep server02

and are you putting computers in the same container as users or do you
have separate container for computers?

what does the relevant section in ldap.conf look like?
