Is a reverse method available i.e. All windooze users be able to authenticate against openldap.
The reason I ask is I have a mail system which can authenticate against openldap or MySQL. I now have one client who uses multiple versions of brain dead OS from M$ and the associated directory server which comes from the same quality unconscious corporation. I am not willing to risk the reputation of my linux mail server (which can run for years continuously) because of ADS uptime/hang/etc issues. The client is also willing to move out of ADS to openldap provided his users who will continue to run windooze desktops be able to authenticate, change passwd with openldap as the directory server. If i am able to do this, I will also achieve the task of saving the customer from using another brain dead product called Exchange.
