[Samba] Change "Computers" settings in Samba 4

[Mario Codeniera]

In relation to this, I used to clone a copy of the windows xp client
uchiha. After that run clone and change the computer name to senju, which
ask to restart. It is running fine.

But when I shutdown senju to run the original one uchiha, I can't login.
What I did login as local administrator account and re-authenticate but
gave me an error

*Computer Name Changes Dialog Box*
*The following error occurred attempting to join the domain "
itachi.kazekage.net":*
*No mapping between account names and security IDs was done.*

Then check on the Samba4 Logs,
*Failed to create user record
CN=UCHIHA,CN=Computers,DC=itachi,DC=kazekage,DC=net: Entry
**CN=UCHIHA,CN=Computers,DC=itachi,DC=kazekage,DC=net
already exists*
*
*
And on the Remote Administration Tools using the Windows 7 machine
itachi.kazekage.net--> Computers --> uchiha (Right click -->properties)

*Computer name (pre-Windows 2000): senju*
*DNS name: senju.itachi.kazekage.net*
*Role: Workstation or server*
*Site: <blank> *
*Description: Computer*

I just testing if gonna work, but so far they have a same SID which can't
be done. But the question is why the cn (uchiha) doesn't change and only
displayName was change to senju? How do I able to have another copy - a
running clone ? It only created one account in the database.
