Ok, understood, thanks for the explanation.

My next problem therefore is to obtain a usable schema for the AD. I've 
extracted the schema directly from our AD and cleaned it up so that 
OpenLDAP is (almost) happy, but it doesn't support some of the syntaxes. 
The documentation suggests I can't easily add the required syntaxes to 
OpenLDAP either.

So for now I've worked around the issue by performing a search as soon 
as the meta LDAP server has started.

Just wondering though if anyone out there has created a suitable MS 
schema that OpenLDAP is happy to use?
