U say that u already have some XP clients on your domain, which meant
that works.

U are trying to add a Windows 7 capable of being able to be part of a
Domain, like Ultimate Edition or compatible right? not a Home Edition.

U are using ldap on centos, which is working? Because u have XP
clients inside the domain, they can see the PDC of your domain?

Could u please give us the output of testparm+testparm of your PDC.

Thanks!!!
