The operational attribute "objectGUID" is available via an ldap browser for AD person objects. This KB article might give you a better idea of how to handle this since I assume you are using ADSI with C#: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/325648. It looks like you can use GUID= (as opposed to objectguid) using the hex string version of the guid. I did not try it against AD but with eDirectory you could search using the hex guid as well.
