I have a user who, when I'm logged in using a non-Admin account, doesn't
appear listed in ADUC.  But using Find, I can locate the record, edit
it, etc.  Logged in with an Admin account, he shows up just fine in the
list of users.

I took a look at his record with LDAPBrowser and I noticed that the
attribute type for Object GUID is "text attribute" instead of "binary
attribute" like everyone else.  The random characters "W7k>Mn " for the
value which I surmise are the ASCII representation of some of the GUID
octets ( 57 37 AC 6B 3E B3 CD 4D 94 6E 20 86 F1 9B D4 BC ).

In ADSIEdit, the attribute value is displayed in octets as expected.

The user operates normally with no known hitches.

How can I change the attribute type back to binary for this user?  How
might it have gotten changed in the first place?
