Another idea :

use pwdump to extract lanman password from your windows SAM.

http://www.openwall.com/passwords/microsoft-windows-nt-2000-xp-2003-vista

compile openldap to support lanman password
sync your window password into your ldap

I I did it for one user, it works ! But I have no scripts to automate
the job :-(
