Do you mean the operationSystem and operationSystemVersion attribute of 
the domain controllers machine account?

This is always set to "Samba" and the version you run at 
provisioning/classicupgrade time:

# ldbsearch -H ldap://DC1 -U administrator "cn=DC1"
Password for [SAMDOM\administrator]
# record 1
...
operatingSystem: Samba
operatingSystemVersion: 4.0.5



You can change this with
# ldbedit -H ldap://localhost -Uadministrator -b "CN=DC1,OU=Domain 
Controllers,DC=samdom,DC=example,DC=com"



As the version always shows the one you used at provisioning time and 
never changes, I _guess_, that it's save to change it. But without any 
warranty. :-)
