I am in a similar situation and I have very little experience with AD.
Just yesterday I setup a test bed Win2K/Exchange2K with AD.
It is so hard to get around in Windows as I am used to command line.  Ugh.

Are there any good howto's out there for us FreeBSD folk that need
to integrate into Windows AD?

I have googled and am learning the ldap client tools like ldapsearch
and also am going to install auth_ldap on my Apache servers.

But I would like a good overview coming from a FreeBSD/Unix perspective??

Thanks,
Andy
