[mac-nt] Re: OS X and W2K AD for Address Book only

Exchange 2000, I believe. We had anonymous access when we were on
5.5, yes. But now it's all AD. :{

I was successful in using OpenLDAP on Linux to do a search using a
domain login/password. Will post more info on whether I can get it to
work under OS X as well.

OS X has the same ldapsearch tool, so hopefully it's just a matter of
figuring out how to make the GUI work, or set the settings manually.
