So, if I would like to test "net rpc vampire", what are the steps?

Write down the "migration document"
Hi to all!
First, thank you very muche to all af you for your work...
Now, let's talk about serious things... ;)
I'm working for migrate my Microsoft NT4 PDC (and possibly also the BDC) to
a Samba server.. In the past I did a lot of tests, using stable versions...
It worked perfectly for network in which clients were Win98 only! But if I
want to migrate win2k clients, things are not so easy... I would like to
make everything as transparent as possible for the clients (my lan at work
is about 100 win2k...I can't change them one by one by hand...)
So, now I downloaded samba3.0alpha20, and I prepared a small LAN to test
the things out... If I can do the trick, I would like to write down a small
paper ("how I did it", directly from "Frankenstein Jr").. Can someone help me?
For SAmba 2.2.x I used pwdump to extract user and machine accounts, pstools
to grab domain sid, etc. But when I log on a Win2K, I can't use my old
profile (because of RID, I think).
Lurking and asking, I discovered that there is a command, net rpc vampire,
that should extract all the infos from the old PDC. Is it right?
If so, what are the steps? I can't find the sintax for the command in man
pages...
thank you very much, to all of you.
Bye
