I find that in my working ldap system, only users are returned with this 
command, not machines.
If you do getent passwd or getent group, do the systems show up with a 
"$" appended?  They should.

     system1$:*:1011:515:Computer:/dev/null:/bin/false
     Domain Computers:*:515:system1$,system2$

Perhaps post your global section.
