I think there must be some migration guide in samba documentation (read chapter 5 and 36 in Samba official howto). I think the best would be to build up your second machine and add it in your domain as BDC, so that all users/groups/machines/... get propagated to this new machine. Once done, migrate all your data, then you can safely switch off the first one and promote your new machine to PDC (changing OS level, and browsing options domain master/prefered master)
