Just one thought. In your setup, do serverA and serverB belong to the same
AD forest/domain?

If not, then you will have some trouble choosing the ADAM admin that can
bind to both instances... One option here would be to use a well-known
principal, such as Builtin Admins. Another option is to add two ADAM admins.
You will have to find the SID of the local user on the second machine, then
bind to the first instance as ADAM admin, and add the user from the second
machine to admins group using its SID, using <SID=S-1-5-xxx-xxx> DN syntax.
