I use Jira server and  no problems like this with using Directory Type (internal LDAP with authentication )

1.There is an issue related to Domain controller in your LDAP.
 You can learn more about and even  fix  issue ; Polling for Changes Using USNChanged
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms677627%28v=vs.85%29.aspx

2. My advice to you  is to  make sure that you are using one domain controller(DC), and that the user which your are using to connect jira to your LDAP sever belong to the content(as a user) in this DC of your LDAP and make sure that you enter all values correctly when configuring you LDAP user directory in your Jira instance,  this  could fix  your problem.

Best!

That's not something we can really help you with. You need to identify one server and use that as the LDAP server under 'User Directories' in the Jira administration console.
