Sorry if it is a bit of a pain that I am also answering this thread but I do experience the same problem...
Theres a LOT of things that can got wrong when using LDAP as you can populate and use it the way YOU want, but samba expects it in a proper way. Its recommended that you populate it using smbldap-populate.
Did not do that.
You need to have the tools configured properly.
Yes, according to the docs I have this correct.
You need to have an user that have rights to join machines, a root account WITH samba attributes, or another user with proper privileges assigned by hand.
Yes. It does not matter weather I use root or a user with the correct privelages.
Samba must know the password of the ldap administrator to be able to change it.
Samba has that for me. John -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
