Bug Description

https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/samba-dc.html

According to the link above:

"Although it cannot act as an Active Directory Primary Domain Controller (PDC), a Samba server can be configured to appear as a Windows NT4-style domain controller."

The very next section of the guide is:

Primary Domain Controller

This section covers configuring Samba as a Primary Domain Controller (PDC)...

So can an Ubuntu Server 16.04 machine be use as a Primary Domain Controller or not?

A better distinction should be made between a legacy PDC and an AD-backed PDC.
