It is definately possibly to create active directory users with
python-ldap. You just need to take care that you set the minimum amount
of attributes required, otherwise the addition will fail. I don't have
any code ready at the moment, but just create a user object with ADUC
and see what attributes that sets. Then take these as a base. Note that
you don't need to create the SID and the GUID -- these are created
automatically by AD.
