[Samba] Win 2003 DC Demotion

[Caio Zanolla]

I remember having issues trying to demote a windows server.

What I did was seise the roles from that dc, turn of the machine and
manually clean up the old DC records from samba using rsat.

I still have lingering records under the root zone though.

Atenciosamente,
Caio Zanolla
