DESCRIPTION
This tool is part of the samba(7) suite.
rpcclient is a utility initially developed to test MS-RPC functionality
in Samba itself. It has undergone several stages of development and
stability. Many system administrators have now written scripts around
it to manage Windows NT clients from their UNIX workstation.
OPTIONS
BINDING-STRING|HOST
When connecting to a dcerpc service you need to specify a binding
string.
The format is:
TRANSPORT:host[options]
where TRANSPORT is either ncacn_np (named pipes) for SMB or
ncacn_ip_tcp for DCERPC over TCP/IP.
"host" is an IP or hostname or netbios name. If the binding string
identifies the server side of an endpoint, "host" may be an empty
string. See below for more details.
"options" can include a SMB pipe name if using the ncacn_np
transport or a TCP port number if using the ncacn_ip_tcp transport,
otherwise they will be auto-determined.
Examples:
o ncacn_ip_tcp:samba.example.com[1024]
o ncacn_ip_tcp:samba.example.com[sign,seal,krb5]
o ncacn_ip_tcp:samba.example.com[sign,spnego]
o ncacn_np:samba.example.com
The supported transports are:
o ncacn_np - Connect using named pipes
o ncacn_ip_tcp - Connect over TCP/IP
o ncalrpc - Connect over local RPC (unix sockets)
The supported options are:
o sign - Use RPC integrity authentication level
o seal - Enable RPC privacy (encryption) authentication
level
o connect - Use RPC connect level authentication (auth,
but no sign or seal)
o packet - Use RPC packet authentication level
o spnego - Use SPNEGO instead of NTLMSSP authentication
o ntlm - Use plain NTLM instead of SPNEGO or NTLMSSP
o krb5 - Use Kerberos instead of NTLMSSP authentication
o schannel - Create a schannel connection
o smb1 - Use SMB1 for named pipes
o smb2 - Use SMB2/3 for named pipes
o validate - Enable the NDR validator
o print - Enable debug output of packets
o padcheck - Check reply data for non-zero pad bytes
o bigendian - Use big endian for RPC
o ndr64 - Use NDR64 for RPC
-c|--command=<command string>
Execute semicolon separated commands (listed below)
-I|--dest-ip IP-address
IP address is the address of the server to connect to. It should be
specified in standard "a.b.c.d" notation.
Normally the client would attempt to locate a named SMB/CIFS server
by looking it up via the NetBIOS name resolution mechanism
described above in the name resolve order parameter above. Using
this parameter will force the client to assume that the server is
on the machine with the specified IP address and the NetBIOS name
component of the resource being connected to will be ignored.
There is no default for this parameter. If not supplied, it will be
-?|--help
Print a summary of command line options.
--usage
Display brief usage message.
-d|--debuglevel=DEBUGLEVEL
level is an integer from 0 to 10. The default value if this
parameter is not specified is 1 for client applications.
The higher this value, the more detail will be logged to the log
files about the activities of the server. At level 0, only critical
errors and serious warnings will be logged. Level 1 is a reasonable
level for day-to-day running - it generates a small amount of
information about operations carried out.
Levels above 1 will generate considerable amounts of log data, and
should only be used when investigating a problem. Levels above 3
are designed for use only by developers and generate HUGE amounts
of log data, most of which is extremely cryptic.
Note that specifying this parameter here will override the log
level parameter in the smb.conf file.
--debug-stdout
This will redirect debug output to STDOUT. By default all clients
are logging to STDERR.
--configfile=<configuration file>
The file specified contains the configuration details required by
the client. The information in this file can be general for client
and server or only provide client specific like options such as
client smb encrypt. See smb.conf for more information. The default
configuration file name is determined at compile time.
--option=<name>=<value>
Set the smb.conf(5) option "<name>" to value "<value>" from the
command line. This overrides compiled-in defaults and options read
from the configuration file. If a name or a value includes a space,
wrap whole --option=name=value into quotes.
-l|--log-basename=logdirectory
Base directory name for log/debug files. The extension ".progname"
will be appended (e.g. log.smbclient, log.smbd, etc...). The log
file is never removed by the client.
--leak-report
Enable talloc leak reporting on exit.
--leak-report-full
Enable full talloc leak reporting on exit.
-V|--version
Prints the program version number.
-R|--name-resolve=NAME-RESOLVE-ORDER
This option is used to determine what naming services and in what
order to resolve host names to IP addresses. The option takes a
space-separated string of different name resolution options. The
If the line in lmhosts has no name type attached to the
NetBIOS name (see the lmhosts(5) for details) then any
name type matches for lookup.
o host: Do a standard host name to IP address resolution,
using the system /etc/hosts, NIS, or DNS lookups. This
method of name resolution is operating system dependent,
for instance on IRIX or Solaris this may be controlled
by the /etc/nsswitch.conf file). Note that this method
is only used if the NetBIOS name type being queried is
the 0x20 (server) name type, otherwise it is ignored.
o wins: Query a name with the IP address listed in the
wins server parameter. If no WINS server has been
specified this method will be ignored.
o bcast: Do a broadcast on each of the known local
interfaces listed in the interfaces parameter. This is
the least reliable of the name resolution methods as it
depends on the target host being on a locally connected
subnet.
If this parameter is not set then the name resolve order defined in
the smb.conf file parameter (name resolve order) will be used.
The default order is lmhosts, host, wins, bcast. Without this
parameter or any entry in the name resolve order parameter of the
smb.conf file, the name resolution methods will be attempted in
this order.
-O|--socket-options=SOCKETOPTIONS
TCP socket options to set on the client socket. See the socket
options parameter in the smb.conf manual page for the list of valid
options.
-m|--max-protocol=MAXPROTOCOL
The value of the parameter (a string) is the highest protocol level
that will be supported by the client.
Note that specifying this parameter here will override the client
max protocol parameter in the smb.conf file.
-n|--netbiosname=NETBIOSNAME
This option allows you to override the NetBIOS name that Samba uses
for itself. This is identical to setting the netbios name parameter
in the smb.conf file. However, a command line setting will take
precedence over settings in smb.conf.
--netbios-scope=SCOPE
This specifies a NetBIOS scope that nmblookup will use to
communicate with when generating NetBIOS names. For details on the
use of NetBIOS scopes, see rfc1001.txt and rfc1002.txt. NetBIOS
scopes are very rarely used, only set this parameter if you are the
system administrator in charge of all the NetBIOS systems you
communicate with.
-W|--workgroup=WORKGROUP
Set the SMB domain of the username. This overrides the default
domain which is the domain defined in smb.conf. If the domain
-r|--realm=REALM
Set the realm for the domain.
Note that specifying this parameter here will override the realm
parameter in the smb.conf file.
-U|--user=[DOMAIN\]USERNAME[%PASSWORD]
Sets the SMB username or username and password.
If %PASSWORD is not specified, the user will be prompted. The
client will first check the USER environment variable (which is
also permitted to also contain the password seperated by a %), then
the LOGNAME variable (which is not permitted to contain a password)
and if either exists, the value is used. If these environmental
variables are not found, the username found in a Kerberos
Credentials cache may be used.
A third option is to use a credentials file which contains the
plaintext of the username and password. This option is mainly
provided for scripts where the admin does not wish to pass the
credentials on the command line or via environment variables. If
this method is used, make certain that the permissions on the file
restrict access from unwanted users. See the -A for more details.
Be cautious about including passwords in scripts or passing
user-supplied values onto the command line. For security it is
better to let the Samba client tool ask for the password if needed,
or obtain the password once with kinit.
While Samba will attempt to scrub the password from the process
title (as seen in ps), this is after startup and so is subject to a
race.
-N|--no-pass
If specified, this parameter suppresses the normal password prompt
from the client to the user. This is useful when accessing a
service that does not require a password.
Unless a password is specified on the command line or this
parameter is specified, the client will request a password.
If a password is specified on the command line and this option is
also defined the password on the command line will be silently
ignored and no password will be used.
--password
Specify the password on the commandline.
Be cautious about including passwords in scripts or passing
user-supplied values onto the command line. For security it is
better to let the Samba client tool ask for the password if needed,
or obtain the password once with kinit.
If --password is not specified, the tool will check the PASSWD
environment variable, followed by PASSWD_FD which is expected to
contain an open file descriptor (FD) number.
Finally it will check PASSWD_FILE (containing a file path to be
opened). The file should only contain the password. Make certain
--pw-nt-hash
The supplied password is the NT hash.
-A|--authentication-file=filename
This option allows you to specify a file from which to read the
username and password used in the connection. The format of the
file is:
username = <value>
password = <value>
domain = <value>
Make certain that the permissions on the file restrict access from
unwanted users!
-P|--machine-pass
Use stored machine account password.
--simple-bind-dn=DN
DN to use for a simple bind.
--use-kerberos=desired|required|off
This parameter determines whether Samba client tools will try to
authenticate using Kerberos. For Kerberos authentication you need
to use dns names instead of IP addresses when connnecting to a
service.
Note that specifying this parameter here will override the client
use kerberos parameter in the smb.conf file.
--use-krb5-ccache=CCACHE
Specifies the credential cache location for Kerberos
authentication.
This will set --use-kerberos=required too.
--use-winbind-ccache
Try to use the credential cache by winbind.
--client-protection=sign|encrypt|off
Sets the connection protection the client tool should use.
Note that specifying this parameter here will override the client
protection parameter in the smb.conf file.
In case you need more fine grained control you can use:
--option=clientsmbencrypt=OPTION, --option=clientipcsigning=OPTION,
--option=clientsigning=OPTION.

SPOOLSS
adddriver <arch> <config> [<version>]
Execute an AddPrinterDriver() RPC to install the printer driver
information on the server. Note that the driver files should
already exist in the directory returned by getdriverdir. Possible
values for arch are the same as those for the getdriverdir command.
The config parameter is defined as follows:
Long Driver Name:\
Driver File Name:\
Data File Name:\
Config File Name:\
Help File Name:\
Language Monitor Name:\
Default Data Type:\
Comma Separated list of Files
Any empty fields should be enter as the string "NULL".
Samba does not need to support the concept of Print Monitors since
these only apply to local printers whose driver can make use of a
bi-directional link for communication. This field should be "NULL".
On a remote NT print server, the Print Monitor for a driver must
already be installed prior to adding the driver or else the RPC
will fail.
The version parameter lets you specify the printer driver version
number. If omitted, the default driver version for the specified
architecture will be used. This option can be used to upload
Windows 2000 (version 3) printer drivers.
addprinter <printername> <sharename> <drivername> <port>
Add a printer on the remote server. This printer will be
automatically shared. Be aware that the printer driver must already
be installed on the server (see adddriver) and the portmust be a
valid port name (see enumports.
deldriver <driver>
Delete the specified printer driver for all architectures. This
does not delete the actual driver files from the server, only the
entry from the server's list of drivers.
deldriverex <driver> [architecture] [version] [flags]
Delete the specified printer driver and optionally files associated
with the driver. You can limit this action to a specific
architecture and a specific version. If no architecture is given,
all driver files of that driver will be deleted. flags correspond
to numeric DPD_* values, i.e. a value of 3 requests
(DPD_DELETE_UNUSED_FILES | DPD_DELETE_SPECIFIC_VERSION).
enumdata
Enumerate all printer setting data stored on the server. On Windows
NT clients, these values are stored in the registry, while Samba
servers store them in the printers TDB. This command corresponds to
the MS Platform SDK GetPrinterData() function (* This command is
currently unimplemented).
enumdataex
corresponds to the MS Platform SDK EnumJobs() function
getjob
Get print job
setjob
Set print job
enumports [level]
Executes an EnumPorts() call using the specified info level.
Currently only info levels 1 and 2 are supported.
enumdrivers [level]
Execute an EnumPrinterDrivers() call. This lists the various
installed printer drivers for all architectures. Refer to the MS
Platform SDK documentation for more details of the various flags
and calling options. Currently supported info levels are 1, 2, and
3.
enumprinters [level]
Execute an EnumPrinters() call. This lists the various installed
and share printers. Refer to the MS Platform SDK documentation for
more details of the various flags and calling options. Currently
supported info levels are 1, 2 and 5.
getdata <printername> <valuename;>
Retrieve the data for a given printer setting. See the enumdata
command for more information. This command corresponds to the
GetPrinterData() MS Platform SDK function.
getdataex
Get printer driver data with keyname
getdriver <printername>
Retrieve the printer driver information (such as driver file,
config file, dependent files, etc...) for the given printer. This
command corresponds to the GetPrinterDriver() MS Platform SDK
function. Currently info level 1, 2, and 3 are supported.
getdriverdir <arch>
Execute a GetPrinterDriverDirectory() RPC to retrieve the SMB share
name and subdirectory for storing printer driver files for a given
architecture. Possible values for arch are "Windows 4.0" (for
Windows 95/98), "Windows NT x86", "Windows NT PowerPC", "Windows
Alpha_AXP", and "Windows NT R4000".
getdriverpackagepath
Get print driver package download directory
getprinter <printername>
Retrieve the current printer information. This command corresponds
to the GetPrinter() MS Platform SDK function.

BUGS
rpcclient is designed as a developer testing tool and may not be robust
in certain areas (such as command line parsing). It has been known to
generate a core dump upon failures when invalid parameters where passed
to the interpreter.
From Luke Leighton's original rpcclient man page:
WARNING! The MSRPC over SMB code has been developed from examining
Network traces. No documentation is available from the original
creators (Microsoft) on how MSRPC over SMB works, or how the individual
MSRPC services work. Microsoft's implementation of these services has
been demonstrated (and reported) to be... a bit flaky in places.
The development of Samba's implementation is also a bit rough, and as
more of the services are understood, it can even result in versions of
