Donīt know if this occurs when using LDAP but I used to get this error when trying to join a machine to the domain with a user different then root or when my "add user script" was misconfigured and samba couldnīt create the machine account. Verify if you can run "/usr/local/sbin/smbldap-useradd.pl -w <machine_name>" from a directory different than /usr/local/bin, if not you need to configure perl to locate your smbldap_tools.pm. If the machine account was created try to change the uid and gid from the administrator to 0 or run "smbpasswd -a root" and use the user root to join the machine to the domain. Hope this helps.
