added third DC 2 hrs ago, copied idmap.ldb etc as mentioned
AD is synced (showrepl), sysvol-rsync works, looks good
PCs already are told to use it as DNS
now my next step is demoting the old DC1, I will follow
https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Demoting_a_Samba_AD_DC
after that this former DC should become a plain DM file server
Should I rm /var/lib/samba before editing smb.conf and re-joining?
