Just press return when asked the questions, you are going to change what 
the questions set.

Please don't run ./configure and make as root

Don't edit /etc/sudoers, use visudo, this includes error checking.

Don't do this, you are just adding the ext4 defaults.

There will not be a smb.conf, so how can you move it?

Why?

You are assuming the OP already has a DC and that he wants to run Samba 
in AD mode.

Just download the Ubuntu samba packages (don't install them), extract 
the scripts from them and alter the paths to suit your new set up.
