[Samba] Samba4 logon server against windows server 2003

[Gémes Géza]

Hi,

I would recommend checking, that the samba4 server has all the DNS 
records, that the Win2k3 has, especially under _msdcs..... except the 
PDC entry which should be unique to the AD controller which owns the PDC 
fsmo role.
