Like tms3 told u, we have to make some changes to the register before
we join ms 7 to the domain, I already did and works, no issue.

Another thing I see in your smb.conf:

security = DOMAIN.

In my little knowledge about samba, if u have a PDC it must say:

security = user.

Went u add a BDC it must say:

security = DOMAIN.

"In domain security mode, the Samba server has a machine account
(domain security trust account) and causes all authentication requests
to be passed through to the domain controllers. The Samba server is
made into a domain member server by using the following directives in
smb.conf."

"security = domain"

Last thing, smbldap-tools using the base repo from Centos 5.5 depend
on Samba-3.0.x, u must build your own rpm to work with samba3x.

My two cents.
