Our AD admins want to move users from our ou=Users tree to a new tree called 
ou=Departed, after we've locked the accounts, so that we know when a user has 
left the company and we've completed the cleanup process.  We've discovered 
through trial and error that when they do this on the AD server, it doesn't 
actually move the user out of the ou=Users tree on the 389 server.  The 
accounts stay synced - passwords transmit and so forth - but the state of 
affairs is somewhat confusing.

If I delete the user and then recreate them in the correct tree on my side, the 
AD server blows the user away and we lose all history - old passwords, AD 
preferences, etc, which is annoying when the person in question is an intern 
who might come back.

Anyone have any suggestions on a workaround for this state of affairs?  It doesn't look 
like a *bug* to me so much as a complete difference of opinion on how a user 
"move" should be accomplished between 389 and AD 2008.
389 does not (yet) support the atomic move operation. AD does. That's the problem.
