Hi @ll,
the problem is linked to the david software specially to the david admin
david admin puts some reg key to the windows client which is used
to view the david services from the windows client on the smb server.
This is done via ssh, so here seems to be the problem when the user 
changes out from the domain admins group, cause the ssh connect is still
done by the old ssh account, so there are two connects to the smb pdc ( 
smb, ssh ) with differnet accounts.
This seems to force usrmgr to show the user staying in the domain admins 
group , while this isnt true in ldap anymore.
After fixing the reg key to the right user account , showing of david 
services in the david admin works again , and usrmgr shows the right
group entries again ( a reboot was done too ), so the failure went away.
I am not 100 % sure about this fix but the failure was solved.
Best Regards
