Sounds more like a nightmare.
A computer in AD is just a user with an extra objectclass, which is why
you can give it a uidNumber.
By removing the 'range' line, you turned the 'ad' idmapping off
for the
'SAMDOM' domain, this meant that everything fell back onto the default
domain.

Well, there must have been some form of cache somewhere.

If everything was running okay, why change it ?

Why do you need to do that, for most things on Linux, computers are
identified by their hostname. If you are going to add uidNumber
attributes to computers, then also give the Domain Computers group a
gidNumber.
