Unless things have changed, DHCP doesn't work with the samba internal 
DNS server, it does however work with the Bind9 DNS server, I have been 
using it since Dec 2012 on my home network 192.168.0.0/24 with the 
domain name of home.lan. To get the domain name applied to the clients, 
you just have to set them to ask for it and the DHCP to send it. As for 
the static clients, you can use samba-tool to add these.

What do you need to migrate ? if you set the first DC in a domain and 
then add another DC, all the AD database will be replicated to it.

sorry but until this post, I had never heard of you :-)     )
