Can't remove samba server from NT/PDC domain (more..)

[Gregory Leblanc]

In order to syncronize with the pdc, you have to have the PDC selected in
the list of computers in server manager.  E.G. if you had a PDC called PDC,
you would need to have that computer highlited in order for that option to
function.
