Working Samba 4 NT4 style PDC on Centos 7 - How to upgrade to AD PDC

Hi !

I have a working configuration of Samba 4.1.1 on Centos 7. Samba is now configured as an old style NT4 PDC and all works very fine. Now I would like do upgrade the Samba configuration to Active Directory DC server. I have then installed, for this purpose, the Centos 7 packages samba-dc and samba-dc-libs:

Name          : samba-dc
Arch             : x86_64
Version        : 4.1.1
Release       : 37.el7_0
Size              : 964
Repo            : installed
From repo   : sl-security
Summary     : Samba AD Domain Controller
URL               : http://www.samba.org/
License         : GPLv3+ and LGPLv3+
Description : The samba-dc package provides AD Domain Controller functionality

Name           : samba-dc-libs
Arch             : x86_64
Version        : 4.1.1
Release        : 37.el7_0
Size               : 964
Repo             : installed
From repo   : sl-security
Summary     : Samba AD Domain Controller Libraries
URL               : http://www.samba.org/
License         : GPLv3+ and LGPLv3+
Description  : The samba4-dc-libs package contains the libraries needed by the DC to
                         link against the SMB, RPC and other protocols.

My smb.conf looks like this:

Server role: ROLE_DOMAIN_PDC

        read only = No
        create mask = 0600
        directory mask = 0700
        profile acls = Yes
        browseable = No


My question is: how to proceed now to configure Samba as AD PDC server using the installed packages?

Hi! Thank You for the advice. I'am trying this solution but I get package dependency failure.   A package requires libpcre.so.0 (64 bit) which I have not on Centos 7 ( I have only newer versions) and I could not find this library with the help of yum. It is also impossible to complete the installation ignoring deps. Yum clean all does not help...
