My general strategy with this is always: First leave the NT4 domain in place and get *everything* else off the NT machines. This leaves them as DC's and netlogon-providers only. If you are confident enough with Samba, install the basic infrastructure to openldap-replicate, test that. And then, as the very last step, the vampire-migration is probably the easiest part. With a proper WINS setup for the then very short migration period you can safely simply switch off the BDCs without disrupting your domain. Just my 2 cents.
