similar to: approximate net rpc vampire HOWTO, as promised

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 due for some sort of change in status. The only major caveat I've

"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 "labs" NT4 domain to Samba. --

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-3.0.20b built from the samba team source RPM on Fedora

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 :

Reading through the Samba3 -By Example guide and I'm confused with the statement section 9.2 http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-Guide/ntmigration.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.

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 =

Ok. I am trying to "net rpc vampire" from my current AD domain into a ldapsam password backend so I can get the user SID to preserve profiles. I am aware that HKEY_USERS holds that SID as well. In my test environment, the SID for userA in the AD domain when taken from HKEY_USERS and put into userA's ldap entry as sambaSID preserves the profile correctly, also the last digits of

Hi ! I'm trying to migrate accounts from my NT4 server, I followed each step described in the HOWTO : - tunred off samba - set domain master at "No" in config file - created groups + mappings as it is advised to - created the BDC account in the NT4 server manager - net rpc join'ed the domain but when I try to vampire user/group accounts, here is what I get : # net rpc vampire

I'm trying to migrate accounts from a NT4 PDC to a Samba 3.0.26a server with a ldap backend, using "net rpc vampire". I was able successfully to run the "smbldap-populate" script and verified that users and groups were created by running "pdbedit -Lw" and "net groupmap list". According to the output from "net rpc vampire" all accounts and

Hello everyone, I have a small question Is it possible that when I try to migrate with vampire the domain's database the application hangs up? net rpc vampire -S servpdc -U Administrateur%ioan Fetching DOMAIN database SAM_DELTA_DOMAIN_INFO not handled Creating unix group: 'Admins du domaine' The application stops there.

Hi All, I configured samba to be a domain member in NT4 environment.

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 - the NT

Hi, I have searched for days on Google and can't find a clear answer to my question. I have a NT4 PDC which I am migrating to Samba 3 (Version 3.4.2-47.fc12) on FC12 with kernel(2.6.31.5-127.fc12.i686). I am using tdbsam as my passdb backend. I setup Samba as a BDC and then joined to NT4 Domain succesfully. When I go to vampire the accounts I get lots of errors and some user accounts get

Hello, recently we succeeded in doing a test migration from NT4 to a samba BDC with LDAP. The LDAP directory is now filled with machine, group and user account information. My question: as I have set the smb.conf parameter "ldap passwd sync = Yes", I would have expected that "net rpc vampire" would also set the UNIX password of the LDAP user account entries, i.e. the
