Jordan, First of all, let me say that we WILL make it happen to you. Period. :-)
To be honest with you, I don't remember exactly how I made the ldap.conf file work in D:\Plone-3.1.2\Python - that broke my legs when I tried to redo a similar setup some time later. I thought that putting D:\Plone-3.1.2\Python in the windows PATH variable would do it, or putting ldap.conf in the same folder as the openldap DLL. However, later on what I came to know as a working solution is to put the ldap.conf in the C:\openldap folder (even for Plones installed in drive D). Just create manually that folder if it doesn't exist. For Plone 3.3.4 in Windows, I think buildout pulls the newest binary version of python-ldap from Pypi, and that version already comes with the OpenLDAP and OpenSSL DLLs. But since you already got it working in LDAP (without SSL) I would guess that the DLL installation is not a problem. So, please try to put the ldap.conf file in c:\openldap and tell me if it worked. Oh, and about creating a good doc for the Plone+AD setup in Windows, count me in.
