[Samba] Samba migration to AD

[Trenta sis]

Thanks on wiki appears
https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Joining_a_Windows_Server_2008_/_2008_R2_DC_to_a_Samba_AD
 I understand that this can be used to migrate fist 2008r2 and the to
newer versions windows?
Any special requirement for initial join between 2008r2 and samba
(specific min version required to allow this join?)

Anybody has migrated with a successful result?

Thanks
