+!!IMPORTANT NOTE FOR WINDOWS PEOPLE
Note that Windows doesn't provide any really useful ways of seeing the LDAP structure, and thus knowing how to construct your LDAP queries can be tricky. There is a very helpful tool called "Ldp.exe" in the Windows Support Tools package (see http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;301423 - and note that there is an article for win2k3 also). Using this tool can be fairly intimidating. See: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;224543 for an overview.
