Not exactly. A WindowsNT or W2K system cannot separate the PDC
functionality from the DMB functionality. Samba can. Samba can be a DMB
without being a PDC *as long as* there are no domain controllers for the
workgroup (nt domain) at all. If the workgroup is promoted to a domain
(that is, if there is a DC for the workgroup/domain) then the PDC must
also be the DMB.
So, the way to look at it is this:
#1B (unique) == Domain Master Browser
#1C (group) == Domain Controller
Using NetBIOS names, the Primary Domain Controller may be identified by
the fact that it also offers the Domain Master Browser service.
