Not sure if there is anything to dump the database, it would probably
need something like the classicupgrade tool that is used to upgrade an
NT4 domain.

You may be able to work around this, it all depends on what schema
version you have, see here to find out:

https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/AD_Schema_Version_Support

If you have schema version 47, then it may just be a case of
adding/changing a few attributes (I don't know which) and then running
samba_upgradedns and then tidying AD.

Of course this is very simplistic and may not work, I think somebody
like Andrew needs to jump in here, he definitely knows more about this
than I do ;-)
