Mm, that isn't an acceptable solution :) because I want to remove the
mapping of the users that are deleted on the PDC. What kind of libraries
do you suggest to me to write a simple script that checks the list of users
on the PDC and removes the ones that are on the tdb mapping but don't have
any files and aren't on the PDC? 

There are python (or perl, whatever) libraries available to write tdb files
and to make that type of queries to the PDC's?
