| It should be possible. If you can use VBScript or JScript it will be

I must shamefacedly admit that the active_directory module
which that page represents is a little stale. It does work,
but I haven't even added in the one or two patches people
have sent. Welcome to use it, but YMMV.

Try searching the python-win32 archives for posts by Roger Upole
(or anyone else) on the subject of AD and/or security.
