yes, I would be able to provide a Init script for Samba4 Alpha15. I will
attach it to this email.
Yes there is a way to maintain your existing Samba4 powered AD Domain.
read this from upgrading-samba4.txt(in the samba.git file)(comes with the
git clone command which downloads the samba source files to the folder you
told it to download to.):
this will help you be able to upgrade your current samba4 domain into the
new version(Alpha 15) and allow you to keep or maintain your existing Samba4
powered AD domain.
