Later in your posting you talk about the migration HowTo. So I guess, 
you talk about an AD DC and not about a PDC (PDC = NT4 style domain, DC 
= AD).

The unix clients can still use Winbind. Just some parameters need to be 
adapted and krb5.conf filled.

There's no other migration HowTo. But if it fails, we have to figure out 
why and fix this. If you give more details, we surely can help.

It's all possible. It may just require a better planning and testing. :-)
