When migrating from an Active Directory server - usually running in "mixed mode" - the maschine accounts are migrated too, though they are not usable afterwards, if the clients are Win2k/XP. Please add this information to the output of "net help rpc vampire" and add an "skip maschine accounts" option to net rpc vampire. Thanks! Christoph
What makes you think the machine accounts are useless afterwards?
(In reply to comment #1) > What makes you think the machine accounts are useless afterwards? After the migration process you have to rejoin every client to the domain, which recreates the computer accounts, so the old computer accounts are useless. This is the result of a discussion on samba.general in november. Quote: --- The "net rpc vampire" migration process will migrate all accounts from ADS to Samba-3 (NT4-style domain), but all machines will need to re-join the domain. NT4 domain accounts can be migrated without need for domain members to be rejoined to the domain. The "net rpc vampire" is inherently an NT4-style migration process. Samba-3 is not capable of being an ADS server, hence the need for domain members to be re-joined to the domain. (John H Terpstra) --- Do you agree?
Created attachment 10031 [details] patch to make that clear
Karo, can you review the patch and check in to master if okay for you?
