Another heads up - it looks like W2003 R2 (beta) has the POSIX
attributes already integrated into the schema.  What is even more
noteable, is that my R2 beta version uses the actual RFC 2307 attribute
names, as opposed to "msSFU-30-XXXXXX".  So there is good (finally
using the correct attributes) and bad (they changed their schema).
