[Samba] Join a subdomain DC to a domain DC

[Elias Pereira]

I'm going to redo my infra using the subdomain.

As I've commented before, the file server is together with the DC. I'm
going to separate it, because I think it's a good practice.

My question is if I could re-use the old DC that already has an integrated
file server for this purpose or is it still better to set up a new server,
re-configure folders and shares, etc?
