Theoretically it should be possible to change the NetBIOS domain name 
during the migration. In the background, Samba/Windows uses SIDs and not 
names.

Try the following in a test environment:
* Set the new NetBIOS domain name in smb.conf ("workgroup" parameter).
* Run the migration

Verify that the domain members in your test environment, that were part 
of the domain before you run the migration, still work correctly 
afterwards.

Please let us know if this worked.
