These are the two tasks that currently exist...

http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Connect_to_Active_Directory
http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Search_for_a_User_in_Active_Directory

They're currently only solved in VBScript and Tcl.  Python (and any
other language) examples would be awesome.  As would be some more
practical task suggestions in the LDAP/ActiveDirectory domain.
