* What size is your domain (users, machines, number of sites, etc.)?
* Are only the plain AD objects in the directory or any other stuff, too
(additional attributes, Exchange, etc.)?


Maybe the amount of work is acceptable to provision the domain from
scratch? Otherwise you have to provision a new domain in Samba with the
same domain SID (do we have an option for that??) and find some tools to
export/import all user/group/machine objects that work with Samba AD and
MS AD.
