will do more or less
But not sync "/var/lib/samba", right?

Could I join the domain with another name and IP now ... to be able to
test things (introducing btrfs snaphots this time) with all AD-features,
but on a "test name"? And then leave the domain, change FQDN/IP and rejoin?
I want to avoid any issues coming from doing something wrong NOW. That
server should be productive for some years from now (sure).
