So now I've added appropriate settings to smb.conf and doing a
 net rpc vampire -S domain_machinename -W domainname -U Administrator

and I get:

Creating account: Administrator
Could not create posix account info for 'Administrator'

.....
for all the users.

They do show up in ldap, but how can I be sure this was converted correctly?

smbldap-useradd -m ricky4

allows me to enter a person without any problems, but vampire gives above error.
