[Samba] Samba-3.0.2 PDC LDAP: Add computer to domain issue withsmbldap-tools

[RRuegner]

Hi,
for ldap you should use the scripts included in samba source from idealix
the right line in smb.conf to install a machine account would be
 add machine script = /usr/local/sbin/smbldap-useradd.pl -w "%u"
this works with usrmgr or from command line
Regards
