[Samba] samba 4 AD and master browser

[mathias dufresne]

Just run some samba as file server, or perhaps you can even just run nmbd
on another host than on your DC.
That host running nmbd will participate to browsing election, it should win
election if you ask for it in smb.conf. Only DC won't appear in network
neighborhood, which is not an issue as even your users loves waste your
company time in searching in network neighborhood, they have nothing to do
on DC.

Cheers,

mathias
