Thus prior to running net rpc vampire etc. - you should slapcat your ldap so you can trash the resulting ldap, slapadd the entries back in and try again after fixing things that don't work. Also, you need to REALLY follow the instructions to the TEE - no shortcuts as any misconfiguration will cause it to fail. Join the domain - set the localsid - set smb.conf to a BDC type configuration. These steps are absolutely vital in addition to having ldap properly configured in smbldap, smb.conf etc. The first few efforts will almost always fail because of all of the necessary details. But to affirm, yes, net rpc vampire process works, user accounts and groups, machine accounts and passwords can all be migrated. After vampire migration, elevate settings on samba so that the system becomes PDC and start samba services and turn netlogon service on NT4 system off.
