I think there must be some migration guide in samba documentation (read
chapter 5 and 36 in Samba official howto). I think the best would be to
build up your second machine and add it in your domain as BDC, so that all
users/groups/machines/... get propagated to this new machine.
Once done, migrate all your data, then you can safely switch off the first
one and promote your new machine to PDC (changing OS level, and browsing
options domain master/prefered master)
