If you're looking to set the Terminal Services Profile information, I  
think you're out of luck with the LDAP approach for the moment.  The  
'attributes' presented by the Active Directory Users & Groups UI that  
permits you to manage the terminal services profile directory etc,  
are all rolled into a binary blob and stuck in the TerminalServices  
attribute.  Even the MS documentation states simply that they're  
stored in an 'opaque' format - no further details are available to  
let you roll your own.

I had to deal with this one recently, and the only simple solution I  
was able to find was to write a VBscript that sets these values and  
is launched from your perl script, passing in the variables of the  
userDN, and parameters for the TS settings.  The catches you have to  
pay attention to are to ensure that you always address the server  
where you're creating the objects, since if you just address the  
domain you might end up attached to a DC that hasn't yet replicated  
the user objects you created.

I'm offline at the moment but I can dig up the links and a couple of  
examples if you need them.  Otherwise, just search the MS KB for the  
attribute TerminalServices.

Cheers,

Erik
