Andrey,

The same guide applies if this is on a new server, but of course you
need to get the information about how to talk to your LDAP server
across.

If it helps, think of it as adding a new server to your existing domain,
then upgrading it. 

This was expressed more clearly in the old HOWTO:

https://wiki.samba.org/index.php?title=Samba_Classic_Upgrade_%
28NT4-style_domain_to_AD%29&oldid=8471

Marc,

Could you put back the information on migrating on a new server?  This
is generally how folks do this migration (as they plan to trial on new
hardware and decommission old hardware), and we need this to be
clearer. 

Thanks,

Andrew Bartlett
