Hi Tim,

Well MS Active Directory can be accessed using LDAP clients (in fact in
many cases it is easier to do that than using the pointy clicky tools of
MS) so you should be able to using perl/python/ruby/etc to do this
fairly easily as long as the user running the script is authenticated to
AD.

Let us know how it goes.  That sounds like a useful script.
