Active Directory has an LDAP interface (from what I hear). Anyway, I use the LDAP interface with our M$ Exchange server here at work to make a phonebook application. As it happens, the LDAP service is listening for requests by default (so you shouldn't have to set it up).
The annoying thing is that M$ will insist on using non-standard field names (as defined in the appropriate LDAP RFC). You will have to experiement and/or visit msdn to get more info. Furthermore, they do not support LDAP encryption as per the LDAP V3 spec - they want you to use their propriety dot net bulsh!t. Anyway, as far as code is concerned, I cut/pase from the PHP manual on LDAP. The example code is just what you need. I had no problems and I had zero experience with LDAP.
