No such luck. I dumped all the data I could find and no go. I'm a bit
hampered by my own ignorance of how schema retrieval works. I did a straight
ldapsearch against an attribute and pulled up the LDIF below. I guess my
question is where in schema.pm do you define what attributes you want to pull
for each schema object?
Chris if you are feeling energetic, I'd be more than happy to setup a VNC or
LDAP connection to my Active Directory box for you to experiment on.
Thanks
