similar to: Is the net rpc vampire at all destructive to a NT4 PD C?

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.

We have run into the following problem when trying to run vampire against our PDC. I am not sure how to interprete the error messages here. Why are there 2 line numbers given? I have run into other problems with smbldap-tools and am not sure how to interprete those errors either. # # Since I initially wrote this : I have done some work on it and found that it has something to do with the

I've tried numerous times but cannot get Vampire to bring across all groups or add users to all groups that they belong to. Sometimes I get everygroup except 1, other times not so lucky. Vampire log is below with an example of what is going wrong. vampire.log Fetching DOMAIN database Creating unix group: 'skischool' Creating unix group: 'sales' Creating unix group:

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

>>I have a client in a similar situation. NT4 PDC w/Exchange 5.5 and Samba member servers. Main problem is that >>they're running an old custom Outlook/Exchange workflow app which locks them in until it can be replaced. Similar situation - though we've been able to replicate it fairly easily in google apps. >>As you're aware newer then XP cannot join an NT4 domain

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 :

Hi All, I have a query regarding the interaction between Samba, LDAP and vampire. The situation is as follows. I have five NT4 servers serving 1000 users 700 of which have 4-digit numeric logins. I have a Samba PDC that I'd like to transfer all the accounts and data to, Vampire being the obvious method. I can't transfer the logins to POSIX accounts due to the numeric uid/gid system

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

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 =

Hi Folks, as promised, here's what I did to get net rpc vampire working. There's a question at the bottom that someone might be able to answer for me.

All, I'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

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 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

Hello All, Software environment is RedHat 8.0 running Samba 3.0.4 compiled from source downloaded from planetmirror.

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 the needed stuff... Am I doing the wrong thing? I now far to little of windows to

Greetings, After a few weeks trying, I figured out how to migrate from NT4 PDC to Samba-3/LDAP/SMBLDAP-TOOLS, at least in my case. I will just explain my setup and my understanding why it works and why it fails. I hope it is helpful to others who are in the same situation as I was. Basic Setup: OS: Fedora-2 (FC2) samba-3.0.3 that comes with FC2. openldap-2.1.29 that comes

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
