Not exactly. A WindowsNT or W2K system cannot separate the PDC functionality from the DMB functionality. Samba can. Samba can be a DMB without being a PDC *as long as* there are no domain controllers for the workgroup (nt domain) at all. If the workgroup is promoted to a domain (that is, if there is a DC for the workgroup/domain) then the PDC must also be the DMB. So, the way to look at it is this: #1B (unique) == Domain Master Browser #1C (group) == Domain Controller Using NetBIOS names, the Primary Domain Controller may be identified by the fact that it also offers the Domain Master Browser service.
