Have already done this. > Since you have to keep the NT4 server as a DC anyway, I don't see how > temporarily making it a member server helps anything. It doesn't have to be a DC, but does need to at least be a domain member server or Exchange Server will not run. > I wouldn't count on > being able to join it back to a Samba 3.5.x domain. That was the original sticking point but it now appears I've accomplished this, basically needed to remove the NT4 system (no longer a PDC) from the Samba (3.6.3) domain, join it to a workgroup, then rejoin it to the domain. Even Exchange came up after the reboot, although I'm not sure it's actually usable yet. Seems that there are a bunch of things that vampire didn't handle well and some account membership, group mapping, rights, etc. that need some attending to. Thanks to virtualization I get to make a lot of mistakes along the path to finding out if this is workable or not.
