Well, I am doing (using the info above) this:

ldbrename -H /samba/private/sam.ldb
CN=user01,OU=Users,DC=domain,DC=local
CN=user02,OU=Users,DC=domain,DC=local

And, altering what you are doing, makes me hope you are doing this in a
test domain!!

DO NOT DIRECTLY ALTER the ldb files under sam.ldb.d

You could damage your AD if you do.
