There are two ways of doing this that I'm aware of: pwdump and net rpc
vampire. The former is an exe that runs on the domain controller and
dumps out (I think) a smbpasswd-format file, the latter uses similar
methods to BDC synchronization to extract the information. pwdump
should turn up in any halfway decent google search, and net rpc
vampire is part of the current CVS.

Cheers,
Waider.
