Hi

as per AD security, passwords are never returned when querying LDAP, but you 
could probably see them using ldbsearch

converting users from samba3/oLDAP to samba4 is possible, one (currently 
deprecated) way is called myldap-pub.py and is seen in many versions on the 
mailing list. this script uses a dump from samba3 LDAP to create a new LDIF, 
which is then imported into samba4.

more recently, a conversion utility that uses (possibly any) samba3 password 
backend was integrated into samba-tool (see thread called "upgrade reference" 
in samba-technical archives for more info). that is the way you should use
