[Samba] Samba 3 PDC to WS2012 AD migration

[Vladimír Bednář]

Hello Marc,

we have upgraded Samba 3 to Samba 4, we have successfully added WS 2008 
r2 to the domain as a domain controller (same as in 
https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba4/videos ) using dcpromo and 
skipping DNS role, we can see users, add users...

Now we need to replicate DNS. What do we have to do? What is better - 
use internal DNS or Bind?

Linux: Centos 6.5, Samba 4.1.12-9, bind 9.8.2-0.23.rc1
Windows: WS 2008 R2 SP1

I need to demote Samba from being a controller and make it a member. 
Without DNS transferred to WS2008R2  we are unable to transfer all FSMO 
roles.

Thank you.
