Memory is hazy about this, but I seem to remember that it was done as two steps because AD didn't allow userAccountControl to be set in the ADD. It had to be set by a separate MOD. Perhaps AD has changed since that time in this respect though.
No, I broke this in 1.1.3 - it was working fine in 1.1.2.

Would there be anything wrong with Fedora DS just forcing
userAccountControl = 512? Or are more options needed in the user
creation dialog?
I'm not sure.  1.1.3 included a "fix" for userAccountControl.  The way
it works now is this:
add new AD entry over LDAP - no userAccountControl attribute is present,
so it must use some sort of AD default value
read the new AD entry - get the userAccountControl value
set AD entry userAccountControl |= 0x200 # 512 == normal account)

So you might try a simple test - add a new AD entry over LDAP outside of
windows sync - see what the default userAccountControl value is - I'm
guessing that adding a new AD entry without specifying
userAccountControl sets it to PASSWD_NOTREQ + ACCOUNTDISABLE

Yes, users created via LDAP are disabled unless you explicitly provide the userAccountControl attribute (with proper flags) in the LDAP Add operation. I tripped over this myself the first time I loaded up a test database in AD. (It also gave me a Fine Opportunity to time how long it took to LDAP Modify all of the users in my test database. ugh...)

Then this is a bug in the winsync code. In the ADD case, it should just force userAccountControl to the Normal value. In the MOD case, it should |= the value. John, can you open a bug about this issue? Thanks.
