All I'm doing for the moment is on Windows 2000 platform. I used
Python-LDAP-1.10a3.win32-py2.2.exe which was the latest version I could find
for Windows

Security is not the issue. When I try to do exactly the same with VBScript,
with the same user account, it all works well. I only want to replace
VBScript by Python.

I'm afraid that I'm not best person to take up that task.

I'll start testing again in a few moments. I'll send some scripts together
with their result.
