Im trying to move to a new hardware at the same time, and the server is not
easily upgraded as its an Resara Server with their own packages of Samba4.
Not so sure i would be successfull if i upgrade. I would very much prefer
if i could move the machine and user accounts somehow without doing nasty
stuff to the original server.

If i upgrade in place will a subsequent join of another DC be easier then?
