And that is where you are going to have to stop and think again, you 
cannot use samba4 in AD DC mode with a separate LDAP server, you must 
use the builtin LDAP server.

You could setup samba4 as an NT4-style BDC and run this at the same time 
as your other older samba3 machine, provided that is running as an 
NT4-style PDC. Once you are sure that everything is working correctly, 
you could then stop your old PDC and promote your new BDC to be the PDC.
