I'm fighting with this at the moment. net rpc vampire isn't documented in the source distro (that I can find, anyway) but for anyone else playing with it, it does take a bit of fiddling to make it work. I presume there's a way to make all this work without creating Unix accounts (LDAP or winbindd) but since I'm trying not to go too far out on a limb, I will note that the use-unix-accounts option requires you to have working "add machine", "add user", and "add group" scripts. It will fail non-obviously if you don't have these (for example, it claims to be creating the groups, but doesn't do so, because you've not defined the script - this had me stumped for a while). The question I'd have, since it's pertinent to what I'm trying to do: Is it possible to "net rpc vampire" a PDC, then promote Samba to the PDC and demote the Windows box to the BDC? I don't care if syncing doesn't work after I've done that, I just need to be able to force every machine in the domain to recognise that the PDC is, er, not the PDC any more, but I can't take the PDC out of the domain entirely because there are other things running on it.
