that isn't a complete walk through and is probably leaving out some
details that you probably didn't know were necessary.

Use
http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/...migration.html

which is much more complete of a walk-through.

I would recommend that the user is familiar with setup, usage,
maintenance of LDAP prior to doing this.

Oh - yes, the net rpc vampire indeed works, I've done it a few times -
going back to 3.0.0 (and it worked then) and I doubt they've broken it
in the interim. The steps are very important. Not understanding LDAP
makes it extremely difficult to do. Get practiced at backing up your
LDAP db and restoring as the vampire process takes a number of practice
runs to get it right.
