After renaming a Windows client via Windows the new sAMAccountName is not synchronized to the corresponding uid attribute in OpenLDAP.

As mentioned in Bug 39802 Comment 8 this causes a smbd coredump whenever the client logs on to samba, e.g. to update its machine GPOs.

Basically the renamed account is non-existent as a Posix account. So in the concept of a UCS domain the machine is not properly joined any longer.

Workaround (at the time of writing):

## If "$newname" is the new client name without trailing $-sign:

udm computers/windows modify --dn "$windowsclient" --set name="$newname"
