(I am no expert on this, but) As far as I know, these classes can only
be accessed via certain function calls to the externally accessible
objects. For example to get an IADsUser

usrAcct = win32com.client.GetObject("WinNT://" + domain + "/" + username + ",user")

or if it is a new user

dom = win32com.client.GetObject("WinNT://" + domain)
usr = dom.Create("user", username)

similarly for IADsContainer

ldapNameSpace = adsiNameSpaces.getobject("", "LDAP:")
Cont = ldapNameSpace.OpenDSObject(ADsPath, AdminUser, AdminPass, 0)


I hope that helps,
