Thanks for your answer.

I start to wonder if Windows sync is worth the trouble. At my site we
will probably not implement password sync as the AD-side is very
restrictive about installing anything. So what I get is basically a
skeleton that I have to populate with the posixUser attributes.

Another issue is groups in AD. I suppose those groups will become
regular unix-groups on the directory server side, which might not
be enough for all policing needs (may need netgroups in addition).

We will probably have maximum a few hundred users in the directory, do
you think Windows-sync is worth the bother?
