All this info (about machine accounts) is stored only in the LDAP database. If you are using ldap the only files that needs copyied/modifyied is smb.conf, /etc/nsswitch.conf, and your IDEALX config. Other than that you will have to enter the LDAP password in the new server using smbpasswd -w (i believe). You did not mention if you were moving just the samba stuff or the LDAP server as well as there is no requirement that the LDAP server is on the same machine as the PDC. However, I assume you want to do that as well. For that copy the /etc/openldap/schema folder and do a slapcat (to a file) to dump the current ldap database. Then on the new machine use slapadd with the file you dumped from slapcat.
