You can use "smbpasswd -r pdcname".
This is the simplest way to change the password.

If you really want to use the passwd command, you will need to use
winbind in these workstations and the pam_winbind.so pam module to
change the password trough it.

You could even use smbldap-passwd to change the password directly in the
base, but you would need to make some changes in the script first.

I'm coming into this half way through but won't ldap passwd sync = yes
work? Or does that only work when you change your password from samba?

Yes, it will only work for commands that relies on samba itself to
change the password. Here passwd is NOT included.
Is was shown three approaches, using samba (smbpasswd), using PAM
(passwd) and using LDAP directly.
