samba - Jun 2016 - Unable to transfer ForestDns/DomainDNS

But that wasn't till 4.4? Right?  I don't have that option with my
version.  I guess if I need to I could just spin up a new vm, build the
source, join as DC, and then do that to remove it and the demote the new VM
DC.  Right?

Well that is one way of doing it and it should work, but as always, back 
everything up first.

Which a quick way of doing that would be for me to cp the /var/lib/samba
directory when samba is not running, right?  And my /etc/samba/ folder?

Since I have the distribution package it isn't all in /usr/local/samba
anymore.


What is the official way to move from windows 2003 server to samba?  I was
thinking it was this:

transfer the roles
dcpromo on the windows box
get a beer because you have one less windows server?
