samba - Mar 2005 - NT Domain to Samba-LDAP just disabling netlogon on NT PDC?

Hi group

Quick question before I switch my domain from NT4 PDC to Samba-LDAP:
Can I leave the old NT-PDC in my subnet, if I just disable it's netlogon 
service?

Reason: This old NT-Server has a database running which is still needed 
after the migration to samba, but it doesn't need to have any 
NETBIOS-NTDomain functionality after the switch, just TCP-IP.

I know of third-party tools like UPromote, but if I can avoid them, I 
think this is a much easier and transparent way of doing it.

Thanks for comments
Paul

won't work for password changes, new users, all changes made to domain
after the NT4 server has been 'dumbed' down since it only considers
it's
own SAM
