'Same' domain, or every geographical location have different domains,
trusted each others?
I'm in the same phase, but i've different domains for every site.

Consider, i'm doing now, not to migrate domains, but instead build the
new domain ''in parallel'' with the old.
As just stated:
+ 'classicmigration' works, but leave an IdMap ''dirty'', and with
problematic low ID
+ you still need to have, for every site, (at least) a domain controller
and (at least) a domain member: it is theoretically doable, but it
is preferrable to split DM/DC role in different box.
Corollary: consider to switch to virtualization, like Proxmox.
With old and new domain in place, you can switch users/PC from the old
to the new also ''one by one''.
If login and password are the same (see later) you can also access the
old server from the new domain.

a) project and setup the new domain; test it. Start to use GPO and that
goodies.
b) build a script su ''suck'' users from old OpenLDAP to new AD; i've
done one myself, i can contribute, but it is really a matter of some
LDAP queries...
c) build a wrapper around the 'samba-tool user syncpasswords' (for
samba AD) and the 'check password script' (for samba NT) to keep
password in sync.
I hope i was useful.
