I think that you mean that you want to setup samba 4 as the DC and then 
use seperate fileservers joined to the domain, is this correct ??

By 'mobile profiles' I take it you mean 'roaming profiles', I also take 
it that now you want to use local profiles instead, if this is the case, 
try searching the internet, but instead of using samba4 in the search 
terms, use AD or active directory instead.

You could use folder redirection instead of local profiles, again all 
the info is out there on the internet, you just need to get that Samba4 
AD is the same as windows AD.

Well yes, but only if you are comparing like with like, i.e. a samba3 
PDC and a samba4 PDC. If you set up an AD DC, the smb.conf is created 
for you, but you can then fine tune this to suit your requirements.

Finely, can you please contact me via the samba mailing list, contacting 
me direct could break the flow of the thread.
