Well, here's the most obvious thing:

By the look of it: rs.Fields[1] is *not* a tuple.
It's an instance of some sort. rs.Fields[1].Value
*is* a tuple. So something like this:

rs.Fields[1].Value[0]

should work. I'm not quite clear why that second
field returns a tuple while the first one doesn't.
(Assuming you have reproduced the code and output
faithfully).

To do this specific thing, you might find it easier
to use a module wrapper:

http://tgolden.sc.sabren.com/python/active_directory.html

where your query would become something like (untested):

<code>
import active_directory

for user in active_directory.search (
   objectClass="User",
   name="*.ferbeau",
   department="IT"
):
   print user.name, user.description, user.department

</code>

Hope that helps somewhat.
