I believe Samba4 currently does not work correctly with an external LDAP server.

I doubt "net rpc vampire" will do anything except give you an error
message :)  I believe the "rpc" vs. "ads" etc. options are considered
to have been a mistake, so are not supported by Samba4's net command.
Also, there is no support currently for vampiring from Samba3 to
Samba4.  Someone is working on a migration script, though.  Check the
samba-technical archives.

I've Cc'd the samba-technical list, someone there might have useful comments.
