So it is modified over LDAP by the Windows Vista (for example) domain
member?

So if the domain member upgrades, it is expected to reach out and update
this property using LDAP?

Are there any ACL considerations to be aware of here?  Are there any
other restrictions on the values clients might populate here?

Any chance you can provide an annotated (ie, with a separate document
mentioning frame numbers) PCAP-formatted example network trace and
documentation references to support this?  I would really like to pin
this down firmly before the next alpha, now that I've turned on the
Windows 2008 functional level and therefore AES encryption in our DC. 

Thanks,

Andrew Bartlett
