You should be fine using Win32::AdminMisc and/or Win32::Lanman against AD. The only issue you will run into is creating user accounts. You won't be able to set the OU that a user account should be created in, so they will all default to the Users container. Outside of that everything should work great (setting properties, modifying group membership, etc.). Good luck.

All account admin for my domain, Exchange server, linux, etc is pretty much automated w/ cmd scripts, perl using AdminMisc (thanks Dave), & various cmd line utilities. I'm happy & get/set any attribute I need. However, the servers are very old & performance is starting to suffer (our PDC is 133 MHz). When I get new servers, I plan to upgrade to win2k & AD. My question is, will I need to learn about ADSI to perform user adds & set various attributes (such as: Primary Group, User Must Change pw at next logon, Grant dialin perms) or can I shuffle by with what I've got under NT? Also, I guess, if I can shuffle by, should I? Are there definite benefits to using ADSI? Can I do this easily enough in perl or must I look at vbscript?
