Yesterday I created a machine account by hand (with the command samba uses). 
After that in LDAP is no attribute sambaSID. Then I enabled level 10 debug log 
and joined this machine. In the log I saw, that samba looks in LDAP for an 
attribute sambaNextRid in sambaDomainName=MUC,dc=mr,dc=lfmg,dc=de. Then it 
takes this number as RID for the new machine and write the old RID value 
incremented back to the attribute.

I don't know who or what filled this attribute initially with a value < 1000. 
But maybe it's a good idea if samba doesn't use values < 1000 if that makes 
problems in AD later.
