The only reply you’re getting from ldapsearch is the same error you’re receiving from python ldap: your bind to the AD domain is unsuccessful. You haven’t had a successful bind to your AD domain using python ldap or ldapsearch… it’d be nice to confirm that you can bind to your AD domain using a standard tool before troubleshooting any Baruwa issues.
You’ll need to upgrade to the latest version of Baruwa to use the updated ad.py: http://www.baruwa.org/docs/1.0/upgrade.html Otherwise you’ll need to revert back to the original ad.py since the latest version allows multi AD domain authentication (which is why you’re getting the error about the missing MailADAuthHost class).

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ActiveDirectoryHowto for full details. Your command should look more like: Ø ldapsearch -h mydomaincontroller.domain.addy -x -b " DC=domain,DC=addy" -D "CN=sampleUsertoBindWith,OU=sampleUserLocation,DC=domain,DC=addy" -W "sAMAccountName=yourusertosearch" Ø We’re trying to establish that you CAN reach and query your domain from the relay... Is that absolutely necessary? I imagine that if I can both telnet to the port is open and I get a reply from ldapsearch, I should be able to query the DC? Why is learning the syntax of *another* authentication tool required to debug *your* authentication tool? I’ll try to see what I get from ldapsearch but I’ve never used this application so I don’t even know where to start to get this to yield sensible output for my implementation so this might take a while. Ø As for ad.py, just update both if you’re unsure (not ad.pyc – that’s compiled byte code)… you may find one is symlinked. I don’t know how that distribution is configured. Backup the originals just in case. I tried this, it crashes again now :
