I think you are going to have to give us more info. For some reason, PAM 
seems to be treating the computers as users (which they are in AD, but 
rather special users), also it isn't winbind that creates home 
directories, it is a PAM plugin.

What OS ?
How have you set the mkhomedir option ?
Why are the PC's connecting as users ?
