Hi

Not much solutions but some advices ....

1)Replication is not yet part of the LDAP standards , so most editors do what
they want .... some of them (IPlanet for exemple )use ldap protocol to
replicate, wich can help to to tricky stuff , but from what I know (I'm no
expert in AD) M$ is using some "proprietary" stuff ....

2) Another point you'll have to be aware is the content of your AD .... here
again from what I read , M$ doesn't use standards objects ... so you'll have
two choices :
a) You extend your Linux Ldap Schema so it can contains M$ objects
b) You change M$ objects in standards object when you replicate

3) From my point of view, unless you can afford tools like Meta-Directories
(but I doubt ! ;o) )) you'll have to create scripts to read your AD and write
your Linux LDAP, depending in how much information you have it migth be
easier to erease information every now and then , then to try to erease only
things that have changed ...

Hope this helps ...

Gilles

PS : As I'm actually starting to study Standards compliance in Directory
Products , I'll be very interested in any new information on your problem ...
as it's tithgly connected .
