In general: This is a *very* ancient release. Also there's no information about the underlying Berkeley-DB and the database backend used in your setup. It's very unlikely that anybody can help you track issues down with this setup.

6. ldapsearch -LLL -x -b uid=tesid,xyz.com unable to retrieve the testid (Problem)

I know the testid is in ldap, because went thru ldap browser and did see the entry. [..] I then did /etc/init.d/ldap stop and /etc/init.d/ldap start

After entering ldapsearch -LLL -x -b uid=tesid,xyz.com, it works,

Why does this happen?

Not much information about your setup. You should provide more details (e.g. database backend used, indexing and ACLs in slapd.conf). Preferrably discuss your setup on the openldap-software mailing list.
