[Samba] Creating a new Samba BDC and promoting to PDC

[L.P.H. van Belle]

Hi Simon, 

Imagine, you have now zone1.domain.tld which runs the PDC setup. 

You can now setup the new AD zones for example with a new zone.  office.domain.tld 
Once you have dns running you can forward zone1 to the needed dns server(s) for the old zones.
And/or re-add the records in the new DNS.

If the local dns server with dhcp is already running. 
Transfer it to the AD-DC, its not obligated, but its nice to have dhcp managing the DNS records also Within the AD. 
This is what you should read also.
