samba - Mar 2014 - adjust DC name after classicupgrade

Hi,

I'm going classicupgrade our samba3 to samba4 next weekend, and suddenly 
realised something:

I intent to keep my samba3 PDC machine called 'filehost' as a member 
server, to only serve files. However, after classicupgrade my new 
(freshly installed) DC1 will of course have the netbios name from my 
'old' samba3 machine. ('filehost')

Meaning I end up with two machines with the same netbios name.

I would like the new DC to be called DC1. Can I change it's name after 
the classicupgrade, or should I do something *before* the upgrade?

Hi,

Testing shows that changing the netbios name in my original smb3.conf 
seems to have the desired effect.

Is that the way to do this?
