I have fiddled only a little with LDAP. The error message sounds like it isn't recognizing something as a DN.
To me, your username doesn't look quite right. Is there really an LDAP server at ucsc.edu? Shouldn't it be more like DC=ldap1,DC=ucsc,DC=edu, to specify the machine name? I'm not even very good with windows, so, I could be way off, here.

Detailed documentation seems to be woefully absent, and I've scoured the web and tried the dozens of conflicting suggestions, so I'm turning to y'all.
