You will loose all your machine account trusts in this process.  NT
Domains cannot be renamed, without rejoining all the machines.

Vampire is only for Windows servers.  You cannot vampire a Samba domain
- and there is no need anyway, you have the user database in an open
format already,

Look into the account database migration tools (pdbedit -i -e) in Samba
3.0 after you first get Samba 3.0 managing your new domain.  Also read
the documentation on maintaining a consistent domain SID during the
process.
