I think there are some real problems with those scripts.  I've written 
my own using php and it seems to work fine with but one minor annoyance 
that maybe on the Windoze side...  The issue is that if I store the 
computer accounts in the Computers ou, the Widoze boxes can't see them.
No problems if I put them in with the users but that could cause trouble 
later when I have to separate the computers from users for some 
unpredictable reason.  My theory is that this has to do with the 
clientside setup.  Namely that the searchbase is wrong.

Which brings up another point.  I note that ALL uidNumber's in the tree 
must be unique regardless of what ou it is stored under?  Otherwise you 
get that pesky sid mapping error.
