Yeah... I was thinking in terms of doing it just once, which is what I do - it's for an educational institution, meaning it has to be done just once a year, so I do it by hand when all the students are registered.
I don't know of a hook on Windows that fires on the user-creation event. Would a cron-job + samba tools do, or does it need to be up + running the same instant as the Windows-user?
I don't either. Maybe a cron job that checks for new AD users via LDAP and creates the database user when one is found? I don't know whether you can tell when a user is created from LDAP....if you can, then new users are those created since the last time you checked; and if not, then you have to store all the users created thus far so as to tell who's new, so it gets a little messy.
