[Samba] Fail to join a Windows 2008 R2 to a Samba+LDAP PDC version3.5.4

The weird thing is this i tried that too ... but i receive this error:

The following error occurred attempting to join the domain "MYDOMAIN":
The specified account already exists.

I had to delete to LDAP Workstation account every time that I tried a 
solution.
To this time i see that problem that you mention on the internet but on 
Centos apparently there is not a workaround to this nss caching thing.
The possible workarounds that I imagine is editing smbldap-useradd, on 
the workstation option including to do not exit if the workstation 
account exists (I do not know to much Perl).
Or the easy one, once is created the workstation account on ldap 
directory, disable the add machine script  and restart samba service. 
and then back again the Windows 2008 joinning process. Once the Windows 
2008 is in the domain, enable the add machine script option and restart 
again. The ugly thing is that there are several Windows 7 workstations 
on the network.

How i can solve that nss error ?

Thanks for your help
