If the computer has been renamed from windows, then the DN, cn, name and 
distinguishedname attributes don't get changed, that is the bug. If you 
change a computers name in AD on Linux with ldbrename, exactly the 
opposite happens and you cannot tell the difference.

If this is the case and the computers name has been changed, the fix is 
easy, just use ldbrename on the DC, this will change the attributes that 
didn't get changed.

There is however one possible problem, was the new PC joined with its 
'old' name and then changed ?, if so, you may have two computer objects 
in AD, one with the DN of the dead PC and all its attributes and another 
with the DN of the new PC's old name, but with the attributes of the 
dead DC. I think you need to check AD.
