Bit confused here, you have 'I have a PDC and two BDC setup.' then at 
the bottom, there is this: 'I don't see the computer in AD user and 
computer tools.'

So, do you have an NT PDC & 2 NT BDC's or do you have 3 AD DC's ?

which ever, can you post the smb.conf from the machine that you call the 
PDC.
