[Samba] another demoting that doesn't work

[Fernando Rodriguez]

Hello,

Yes, could be a problem on samba itself. as suggested by Marc Muehlfeld 
i filled a samba bug report.

Let see what it goes :)

In the other hand, right now I dont know if my domain has still "trash" 
from the old DC that i am afraid it could affect in the future (Marc 
points me to that topic too.)

Thank you everybody!
Fernando
