[Samba] Demote Win2008R2 DC Fail

[Jason Waters]

I tried that fix and it did not work for me, but I do think I was in 2003
trying to do it.  People were having issues using edsiedit to change that
entry.  The only entries that I was able to put in there was blank or or
the machine I was on.  I tried using ntsdutil.exe and was able to use it to
change to the same two entries, not the new role owner!
