Thanks Rowland, with the sieze it was possible to migrate with:

samba-tool fsmo seize

when demoing the old Windows, I got the following message:

        "The operation failed because:

        Active Directory Domain Services could not find another Active
Directory Domain Controller to transfer the remaining data in the
directory partition:
        DC=ForestDnsZones,DC=DOMAIN,DC=local.

         The specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted"


Any idea how to proceed?
