Yes I think that is the one solution. But the reason why I did not yet 
do it is simple: Because the machine Accounts are not users!

Look again at my tree:

dc=example,dc=com
  + ou=groups
  |  + cn=Account Operators
  |  + ...
  + ou=machines
  |  + uid=workstation1$
  |  + uid=workstation2$
  |  + ...
  + ou=users
     + ou=int
     |  + uid=user1
     |  + uid=user2
     |  + ...
     + ou=ext
        + uid=user3
        + uid=user4
        + ...
    ...

So I would need to move the machines tree into the users tree what is 
semantically not correct. But maybe the one solution?
