Rowland,

What breaks specifically for you?  The tools are expected to manage a
Windows server in the same way as a Samba one, for operations performed
over LDAP.  If there is a difference in the behaviour, we should be
logging a bug and testing for that.

Given your comments presumably you have hit such an issue?

Thanks,

Andrew Bartlett
