9 rpcclient [-A authfile] [-c <command string>] [-d debuglevel]
10 [-l logdir] [-N] [-s <smb config file>] [-U username[%password]]
11 [-W workgroup] [-I destinationIP] {BINDING-STRING|HOST}
12
14 This tool is part of the samba(7) suite.
15 rpcclient is a utility initially developed to test MS-RPC functionality
17 in Samba itself. It has undergone several stages of development and
18 stability. Many system administrators have now written scripts around
19 it to manage Windows NT clients from their UNIX workstation.

22 BINDING-STRING|HOST
23 When connecting to a dcerpc service you need to specify a binding
24 string.
25 The format is:
27 TRANSPORT:host[options]
29 where TRANSPORT is either ncacn_np (named pipes) for SMB or
31 ncacn_ip_tcp for DCERPC over TCP/IP.
32 "host" is an IP or hostname or netbios name. If the binding string
34 identifies the server side of an endpoint, "host" may be an empty
35 string. See below for more details.
36 "options" can include a SMB pipe name if using the ncacn_np
38 transport or a TCP port number if using the ncacn_ip_tcp transport,
39 otherwise they will be auto-determined.
40 Examples:
42 • ncacn_ip_tcp:samba.example.com[1024]
44 • ncacn_ip_tcp:samba.example.com[sign,seal,krb5]
46 • ncacn_ip_tcp:samba.example.com[sign,spnego]
48 • ncacn_np:samba.example.com
50 • ncacn_np:samba.example.com[samr]
52 • ncacn_np:samba.example.com[samr,sign,print]
54 • ncalrpc:/path/to/unix/socket
56 • //SAMBA
58 The supported transports are:
60 • ncacn_np - Connect using named pipes
62 • ncacn_ip_tcp - Connect over TCP/IP
64 • ncalrpc - Connect over local RPC (unix sockets)
66 The supported options are:
68 • sign - Use RPC integrity authentication level
70 • seal - Enable RPC privacy (encryption) authentication
72 level
73 • connect - Use RPC connect level authentication (auth,
75 but no sign or seal)
76 • packet - Use RPC packet authentication level
78 • spnego - Use SPNEGO instead of NTLMSSP authentication
80 • ntlm - Use plain NTLM instead of SPNEGO or NTLMSSP
82 • krb5 - Use Kerberos instead of NTLMSSP authentication
84 • schannel - Create a schannel connection
86 • smb1 - Use SMB1 for named pipes
88 • smb2 - Use SMB2/3 for named pipes
90 • validate - Enable the NDR validator
92 • print - Enable debug output of packets
94 • padcheck - Check reply data for non-zero pad bytes
96 • bigendian - Use big endian for RPC
98 • ndr64 - Use NDR64 for RPC
100 -c|--command=<command string>
103 Execute semicolon separated commands (listed below)
104 -I|--dest-ip IP-address
106 IP address is the address of the server to connect to. It should be
107 specified in standard "a.b.c.d" notation.
108 Normally the client would attempt to locate a named SMB/CIFS server
110 by looking it up via the NetBIOS name resolution mechanism
111 described above in the name resolve order parameter above. Using
112 this parameter will force the client to assume that the server is
113 on the machine with the specified IP address and the NetBIOS name
114 component of the resource being connected to will be ignored.
115 There is no default for this parameter. If not supplied, it will be
117 determined automatically by the client as described above.
118 -p|--port port
120 This number is the TCP port number that will be used when making
121 connections to the server. The standard (well-known) TCP port
122 number for an SMB/CIFS server is 139, which is the default.
123 -d|--debuglevel=level
125 level is an integer from 0 to 10. The default value if this
126 parameter is not specified is 0.
127 The higher this value, the more detail will be logged to the log
129 files about the activities of the server. At level 0, only critical
130 errors and serious warnings will be logged. Level 1 is a reasonable
131 level for day-to-day running - it generates a small amount of
132 information about operations carried out.
133 Levels above 1 will generate considerable amounts of log data, and
135 should only be used when investigating a problem. Levels above 3
136 are designed for use only by developers and generate HUGE amounts
137 of log data, most of which is extremely cryptic.
138 Note that specifying this parameter here will override the log
140 level parameter in the smb.conf file.
141 -V|--version
143 Prints the program version number.
144 -s|--configfile=<configuration file>
146 The file specified contains the configuration details required by
147 the server. The information in this file includes server-specific
148 information such as what printcap file to use, as well as
149 descriptions of all the services that the server is to provide. See
150 smb.conf for more information. The default configuration file name
151 is determined at compile time.
152 -l|--log-basename=logdirectory
154 Base directory name for log/debug files. The extension ".progname"
155 will be appended (e.g. log.smbclient, log.smbd, etc...). The log
156 file is never removed by the client.
157 --option=<name>=<value>
159 Set the smb.conf(5) option "<name>" to value "<value>" from the
160 command line. This overrides compiled-in defaults and options read
161 from the configuration file.
162 -N|--no-pass
164 If specified, this parameter suppresses the normal password prompt
165 from the client to the user. This is useful when accessing a
166 service that does not require a password.
167 Unless a password is specified on the command line or this
169 parameter is specified, the client will request a password.
170 If a password is specified on the command line and this option is
172 also defined the password on the command line will be silently
173 ignored and no password will be used.
174 -k|--kerberos
176 Try to authenticate with kerberos. Only useful in an Active
177 Directory environment.
178 -C|--use-ccache
180 Try to use the credentials cached by winbind.
181 -A|--authentication-file=filename
183 This option allows you to specify a file from which to read the
184 username and password used in the connection. The format of the
185 file is
186 username = <value>
188 password = <value>
189 domain = <value>
190 Make certain that the permissions on the file restrict access from
192 unwanted users.
193 -U|--user=username[%password]
195 Sets the SMB username or username and password.
196 If %password is not specified, the user will be prompted. The
198 client will first check the USER environment variable, then the
199 LOGNAME variable and if either exists, the string is uppercased. If
200 these environmental variables are not found, the username GUEST is
201 used.
202 A third option is to use a credentials file which contains the
204 plaintext of the username and password. This option is mainly
205 provided for scripts where the admin does not wish to pass the
206 credentials on the command line or via environment variables. If
207 this method is used, make certain that the permissions on the file
208 restrict access from unwanted users. See the -A for more details.
209 Be cautious about including passwords in scripts. Also, on many
211 systems the command line of a running process may be seen via the
212 ps command. To be safe always allow rpcclient to prompt for a
213 password and type it in directly.
214 -S|--signing on|off|required
216 Set the client signing state.
217 -P|--machine-pass
219 Use stored machine account password.
220 -e|--encrypt
222 This command line parameter requires the remote server support the
223 UNIX extensions or that the SMB3 protocol has been selected.
224 Requests that the connection be encrypted. Negotiates SMB
225 encryption using either SMB3 or POSIX extensions via GSSAPI. Uses
226 the given credentials for the encryption negotiation (either
227 kerberos or NTLMv1/v2 if given domain/username/password triple.
228 Fails the connection if encryption cannot be negotiated.
229 --pw-nt-hash
231 The supplied password is the NT hash.
232 -n|--netbiosname <primary NetBIOS name>
234 This option allows you to override the NetBIOS name that Samba uses
235 for itself. This is identical to setting the netbios name parameter
236 in the smb.conf file. However, a command line setting will take
237 precedence over settings in smb.conf.
238 -i|--scope <scope>
240 This specifies a NetBIOS scope that nmblookup will use to
241 communicate with when generating NetBIOS names. For details on the
242 use of NetBIOS scopes, see rfc1001.txt and rfc1002.txt. NetBIOS
243 scopes are very rarely used, only set this parameter if you are the
244 system administrator in charge of all the NetBIOS systems you
245 communicate with.
246 -W|--workgroup=domain
248 Set the SMB domain of the username. This overrides the default
249 domain which is the domain defined in smb.conf. If the domain
250 specified is the same as the servers NetBIOS name, it causes the
251 client to log on using the servers local SAM (as opposed to the
252 Domain SAM).
253 -O|--socket-options socket options
255 TCP socket options to set on the client socket. See the socket
256 options parameter in the smb.conf manual page for the list of valid
257 options.
258 -?|--help
260 Print a summary of command line options.
261 --usage
263 Display brief usage message.

547 adddriver <arch> <config> [<version>]
548 Execute an AddPrinterDriver() RPC to install the printer driver
549 information on the server. Note that the driver files should
550 already exist in the directory returned by getdriverdir. Possible
551 values for arch are the same as those for the getdriverdir command.
552 The config parameter is defined as follows:
553 Long Driver Name:\
555 Driver File Name:\
556 Data File Name:\
557 Config File Name:\
558 Help File Name:\
559 Language Monitor Name:\
560 Default Data Type:\
561 Comma Separated list of Files
562 Any empty fields should be enter as the string "NULL".
564 Samba does not need to support the concept of Print Monitors since
566 these only apply to local printers whose driver can make use of a
567 bi-directional link for communication. This field should be "NULL".
568 On a remote NT print server, the Print Monitor for a driver must
569 already be installed prior to adding the driver or else the RPC
570 will fail.
571 The version parameter lets you specify the printer driver version
573 number. If omitted, the default driver version for the specified
574 architecture will be used. This option can be used to upload
575 Windows 2000 (version 3) printer drivers.
576 addprinter <printername> <sharename> <drivername> <port>
578 Add a printer on the remote server. This printer will be
579 automatically shared. Be aware that the printer driver must already
580 be installed on the server (see adddriver) and the portmust be a
581 valid port name (see enumports.
582 deldriver <driver>
584 Delete the specified printer driver for all architectures. This
585 does not delete the actual driver files from the server, only the
586 entry from the server's list of drivers.
587 deldriverex <driver> [architecture] [version] [flags]
589 Delete the specified printer driver and optionally files associated
590 with the driver. You can limit this action to a specific
591 architecture and a specific version. If no architecture is given,
592 all driver files of that driver will be deleted. flags correspond
593 to numeric DPD_* values, i.e. a value of 3 requests
594 (DPD_DELETE_UNUSED_FILES | DPD_DELETE_SPECIFIC_VERSION).
595 enumdata
597 Enumerate all printer setting data stored on the server. On Windows
598 NT clients, these values are stored in the registry, while Samba
599 servers store them in the printers TDB. This command corresponds to
600 the MS Platform SDK GetPrinterData() function (* This command is
601 currently unimplemented).
602 enumdataex
604 Enumerate printer data for a key
605 enumkey
607 Enumerate printer keys
608 enumjobs <printer>
610 List the jobs and status of a given printer. This command
611 corresponds to the MS Platform SDK EnumJobs() function
612 getjob
614 Get print job
615 setjob
617 Set print job
618 enumports [level]
620 Executes an EnumPorts() call using the specified info level.
621 Currently only info levels 1 and 2 are supported.
622 enumdrivers [level]
624 Execute an EnumPrinterDrivers() call. This lists the various
625 installed printer drivers for all architectures. Refer to the MS
626 Platform SDK documentation for more details of the various flags
627 and calling options. Currently supported info levels are 1, 2, and
628 3.
629 enumprinters [level]
631 Execute an EnumPrinters() call. This lists the various installed
632 and share printers. Refer to the MS Platform SDK documentation for
633 more details of the various flags and calling options. Currently
634 supported info levels are 1, 2 and 5.
635 getdata <printername> <valuename;>
637 Retrieve the data for a given printer setting. See the enumdata
638 command for more information. This command corresponds to the
639 GetPrinterData() MS Platform SDK function.
640 getdataex
642 Get printer driver data with keyname
643 getdriver <printername>
645 Retrieve the printer driver information (such as driver file,
646 config file, dependent files, etc...) for the given printer. This
647 command corresponds to the GetPrinterDriver() MS Platform SDK
648 function. Currently info level 1, 2, and 3 are supported.
649 getdriverdir <arch>
651 Execute a GetPrinterDriverDirectory() RPC to retrieve the SMB share
652 name and subdirectory for storing printer driver files for a given
653 architecture. Possible values for arch are "Windows 4.0" (for
654 Windows 95/98), "Windows NT x86", "Windows NT PowerPC", "Windows
655 Alpha_AXP", and "Windows NT R4000".
656 getdriverpackagepath
658 Get print driver package download directory
659 getprinter <printername>
661 Retrieve the current printer information. This command corresponds
662 to the GetPrinter() MS Platform SDK function.
663 openprinter <printername>
665 Execute an OpenPrinterEx() and ClosePrinter() RPC against a given
666 printer.
667 openprinter_ex <printername>
669 Open printer handle
670 setdriver <printername> <drivername>
672 Execute a SetPrinter() command to update the printer driver
673 associated with an installed printer. The printer driver must
674 already be correctly installed on the print server.
675 See also the enumprinters and enumdrivers commands for obtaining a
677 list of of installed printers and drivers.

1051 rpcclient is designed as a developer testing tool and may not be robust
1052 in certain areas (such as command line parsing). It has been known to
1053 generate a core dump upon failures when invalid parameters where passed
1054 to the interpreter.
1055 From Luke Leighton's original rpcclient man page:
1057 WARNING! The MSRPC over SMB code has been developed from examining
1059 Network traces. No documentation is available from the original
1060 creators (Microsoft) on how MSRPC over SMB works, or how the individual
1061 MSRPC services work. Microsoft's implementation of these services has
1062 been demonstrated (and reported) to be... a bit flaky in places.
1063 The development of Samba's implementation is also a bit rough, and as
1065 more of the services are understood, it can even result in versions of
1066 smbd(8) and rpcclient(1) that are incompatible for some commands or
1067 services. Additionally, the developers are sending reports to
1068 Microsoft, and problems found or reported to Microsoft are fixed in
1069 Service Packs, which may result in incompatibilities.

1072 This man page is part of version 4.14.5 of the Samba suite.

1075 The original Samba software and related utilities were created by
1076 Andrew Tridgell. Samba is now developed by the Samba Team as an Open
1077 Source project similar to the way the Linux kernel is developed.
1078 The original rpcclient man page was written by Matthew Geddes, Luke
1080 Kenneth Casson Leighton, and rewritten by Gerald Carter. The conversion
1081 to DocBook for Samba 2.2 was done by Gerald Carter. The conversion to
1082 DocBook XML 4.2 for Samba 3.0 was done by Alexander Bokovoy.
