Yup. You should be able to install it as a standalone
server, and then join it to the samba-tng domain, so it
becomes a domain member and you can authenticate against
the samba-tng-pdc.

Ummm...

I don't know of any code in TNG, that has to do with
TS-Licensing. I doubt, that this will work.

You could try, if you can get the w2k-ts to do the
licensing localy. The main question is: What would w2k-ts
do in a standard nt4-domain? The pdc in that domain
wouldn't know anything about w2k-ts-licensing either?

p.s.: I don't have w2k-ts, so I wont be able to debug
      this...
