Alex-
     Thanks for your response and Uwe I apologize if I misunderstood
and misinterpreted your comments.  I am sorry.
I have tried Tim's module called active_directory and it works really
well.  But I can't figure out how to connect to a specific group is I
know the common name for it but not the DN and then return it's
members.  Example.... I know the group name is domain1\sharedaccess.
How do I bind to that group and get the members.  The domain isn't
necessarily the defaultnamingcontext.  It could be another domain in
the forest.  I need to be able to connect to any domain group and get
it's members.  Thanks again.
