You need something like this:

dn: OU=automount,dc=MYDOMAIN
objectClass: top
objectClass: organizationalUnit
ou: automount
name: automount
showInAdvancedViewOnly: TRUE

dn: OU=auto.master,OU=automount,dc=MYDOMAIN
objectClass: top
objectClass: automountMap
objectClass: organizationalUnit
ou: auto.master
name: auto.master
automountMapName: auto.master

dn: CN=/shares,OU=auto.master,OU=automount,dc=MYDOMAIN
objectClass: top
objectClass: automount
objectClass: container
cn: /shares
name: /shares
automountKey: /shares
automountInformation: auto.shares

dn: OU=auto.shares,OU=automount,dc=MYDOMAIN
objectClass: top
objectClass: automountMap
objectClass: organizationalUnit
ou: auto.shares
name: auto.shares
automountMapName: auto.shares

dn: CN=dropbox,OU=auto.shares,OU=automount,dc=MYDOMAIN
objectClass: top
objectClass: automount
objectClass: container
cn: dropbox
name: dropbox
automountKey: dropbox
automountInformation: -fstype=cifs,rw,username=rowland,password=xxxxxxxxxx,uid=3001106,iocharset=utf8 ://192.168.0.2/dropbox

You then need something to extract the info from AD.
