You don't say whether you've tried a standard LDAP approach (look at Ruby's
Net::LDAP library). It sounds like you're trying to query a DC, not a GC. If
you get the query-treebase right, you should have no trouble constructing an
LDAP query that will return everything. (Unless your domain is split up so
as to return referrals, and even then it's manageable.) Talk to your AD
sysadmin about how to query it. (Also policies differ from site to site in
regard to how you should filter the query, so that's another thing to look
at.)
