[Samba] Joining a Windows Server 2008 R2 to existing Samba4 domain

[Chris Alavoine]

Hi Marc,

Unfortunately, I have around 600 of these errors.

I've tested manually deleting an offending entry using ldbedit -H and the
subsequent dbcheck test goes down by 1 so this would suggest that I can fix
it this way... although not sure if this is:

a. A good idea
b: The best way to fix this.

Any pointers most welcome.

Thanks,
Chris.
