Samba 4 is not out yet; the Samba 4 Technical Previews are not recommended for production use. I'm not aware of any docs or howtos on how to migrate from Windows AD to Samba 4 AD. (I *think* that I've seen comments about the Samba team working to get full-fledged AD replication working in Samba 4, which would mean that migrating to Samba should be as simple as promoting a Samba 4 DC then demoting the Windows DC. But I don't know that Samba 4 can do that yet.) Samba 3.x cannot serve as an Active Directory domain controller. It can serve as a NT4-style domain controller, but I suspect that you would need to rejoin all of your computers to switch from a Windows AD domain to a Samba NT domain. If your Active Directory domain is still in mixed mode, then I imagine that you could at least migrate users using Samba's net vampire command (http://samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/NT4Migration.html), but it's not something that I've tried.
