Well, I'm not sure, but it sounds like you might be vampiring after
provisioning.  If you want to vampire the Win2k3 machine, you should
not run provision first.  I suggest you remove /usr/local/samba
completely (or wherever you installed it), then reinstall and DO NOT
provision.  Just vampire.

Also, if you vampire once and it fails, do not just vampire again.
Rather remove the files created by the vampire process and start
again.  I'm not sure exactly what's created when you
provision/vampire, so you'll have to experiment or see if someone else
enlightens us, but should be easy to see.
