Hello Samba People, it is my first letter to Samba ML, so first of all - thanks Samba team for a great SW. Now the question: I want to migrate from Win2003 AD to Samba 3.3.2. I want to use net vampire feature to import all account information (is there any other way to do it?). Net vampire works partly - in the direct meaning of this word - it is importing only 131 objects. How come? Full story: Samba is configured with OpenLdap and smbldap-tools. They are working. Then I launch: net rpc vampi...

Hi, Can someone help me get "net rpc vampire" in one of its forms working. The objective is to migrate from an NT4 PDC to a SAMBA 3.0 PDC using LDAP as a back end. I am trying to migrate the user and machine accounts across in a lab environment, separate from the main network (I have replicated the PDC to do this). I have samba-3.0.2...

We just migrated a small network from a Win2K PDC to Samba, using "net rpc vampire" into a tdbsam backend on a Samba 3.0.2a Linux box. One of the users, let's call him Jon Harker, had the NT username "JHarker". When we ran "pdbedit -v jharker", we saw this: Unix username: JHarker NT username: JHarker Well, that looks wrong -...

Greetings everyone I finally succeeded in doing the seemingly most difficult thing, "following directions." I got my act together configuring the smb.conf and migrating using net rpc vampire into tdbsam. There are issues with this migration in which computer netbios names which are obviously all uppercase were not being created in /etc/passwd. I put my C cap on and converted the computer names to lowercase before handing them over to the add machine script. When I join a machine to th...

Hi all, I am trying to migrate NT4 domain to Samba-3 PDC, yet I stuck at migrating NT4 PDC information using "net rpc vampire" -- giving "segmentation fault". Any help? I use: Debian Linux, Samba 3.0.21a-Debian The steps that I did: a. In NT's server manager, I created GL-BACKUP as BDC b. Here is my smb.conf [global] workgroup = GLNET netbios name = GL-BACKUP passdb backend = tdbsam...

Hi All, Hope someone here can help me ? *See end for background and system information... I'm looking for advice or links to clear documentation on the use and configuration of "net vampire" and it's ability to download PDC accounts with passwords intact. I have successfully used "net vampire" to synchronize my Samba BDC -- with my companies PDC. I've switched my linux box authentication -- using "authconfig" -- to authenticate against LDAP. Seems...

...inning. My smb.conf is shown below in the BDC configuration. I started with no tdbsam database, so I started by creating the root account using pdbedit. I join the domain using net rpc join -S PDC. No problem. I setup the group maps using by creating a script, as recommended. Then I run the vampire command: sudo net rpc vampire -S cls01 At this point I noticed it does not need a password, though the documentation says to use -U administrator; I assume it's relying on the machine trust account and its BDC membership. It appears to create all user, workstation, and group accounts prop...

"net rpc vampire ..." does NOT set the SAM or SECURITY hives of the registry to "readable", which is what renders the PDC non-operable. "net rpc vampire ..." is safe to use as many times as it takes to get comfortable with the process. I did it my self when I was converting our "lab...

Hello list, i did a quite sucessfull net rpc vampire but one promblem remains. Everything is fine, but the user group memberships aren't restored. Only alle primary group member ships are restored. every user is in the primgrp (4126 Users). All Groups (2659) are restored including sids. but no membership is restored! I don't know why. here...

Hi all, Thank you for your help, and sorry for my late answer. Everything works fine by now ! Yes, you have to become a BDC to vampire the accounts ! This is why I was getting an "Access denied" error : I thought my Samba was a BDC, but I forgot to add "domain logon = Yes" in my smb.conf, so Samba was a simple share server. Here is the steps I followed to suck the accounts : 1 - smb.conf extract : ---------...

...html#id2594565 about accessing the SAM and Security sections of the registry will render the PDC non operable. Its clear from the text if you go and edit the registry(regedit etc..) so you can read the entries your PDC will not work. What's not exactly clear is if any of the tools like net rcp vampire or getsid tools change the operation of the PDC in this way or any other way for that mater. The net rcp tools don't access the registry in this destructive way do they? Like: # net rpc vampire -S TRANSGRESSION -U Administrator%not24get > /tmp/vampire.log 2>1 Is it safe to run the net...

I'm new to linux but I been able to get some things working. I installed Vampire - The Masquerade Bloodlines with wine but when I run it stays on the loading screen.

Can samba4 vampire another samba4? After a dozen administrators there seems to be some oddities, and since we started with samba4 alpha9 (I think) it may be time to go straight to current release. I guess that the idea is to get a fresh start and I hoping that a vampire rather than an upgrade would only transfer t...

Hi, I'm trying to prepare migration from NT4 server to samba with ldap backend. For testing and simulating I have prepared one NT4 server, one Centos 5.5 samba server and now I have almost working setup for vampiring users and groups. Using following packages: samba3.i386 3.5.7-43.el5 samba3-cifsmount.i386 3.5.7-43.el5 samba3-client.i386 3.5.7-43.el5 samba3-doc.i386 3.5.7-43.el5 samba3-utils.i386 3.5.7-43.el5 smbldap-tools.noarch 0.9.5-2.el5.rf openldap.i386 2.3.43-12.el5_5.3 openldap-clients.i386...

This patch allows net rpc vampire to create accounts in the same way that smbpasswd does, i.e. it will attempt to use the appropriate account creation function for the backend in use. From reading the comments on the top of the local_password_change function, either I shouldn't be going this route or local_password_change is d...

Hi, im using net rpc vampire to migrate users/ groups from nt4 to samba3 with ldap backend. But the umlauts (????) in the displayname are malformend. Unix charset in smb.conf is set to ISO8859-1. Any hint how to correct this? Regards S.Drees

Hi All, It seems like Samba 3 does require the PDC to use LDAP for nss when using ldapsam. I reconfigured Solaris 9 to use nss_ldap and 'getent group' now shows the posixGroups created by the 'net rpc vampire' operation. I then cleaned up the LDAP database and ran vampire again. Each group is created successfully with incrementing gidNumber 10000 onward. 'net groupmap list' also shows that all groups mappings were migrated too. But my vampire bombed when migrating users. I really need h...

...9;m trying to migrate to samba3 from nt4. Unsuccesfully so far :-(. Instructions are from idealx how-to v1.6. Enviroment is RHFC2/Samba 3.0.3-5/OpenLDAP 2.1.29 Membership to the domain is ok ---------------- # net rpc testjoin Join to 'NT-DOM' is OK ---------------- The next step would be vampire but it fails with reference to smbtest2-domain. I can't figure out wherefrom this domain comes from. The host is smbtest2, but samba is configured to be member of domain, security is user and there is no mention of smbtest2 in /etc/samba/secrets.tdb BEFORE vampire: ---------------- # tdbdump /...
