Default using active directory user database from Solaris

Hi,
Can anyone pls. tell me how to access Active directory from solaris. I am looking at solution by which I can send mail notification from the logs generated by scripts, to the users on Exchange server.

I am trying for a Perl-LDAP module and dont really know where to go from there..

I'm not windows pro, but if windows offers email service then you should able to send an email from script or at shell prompt using following command:

Code:
mail windowsuser@domain-name </tmp/email-message

In my script I am picking up the user IDs from /etc/passwd database.
Now this requirement then comes into picture to find out related mail address on the exchange server, for the user ID (derived from /etc/passwd database).
Is there any way by which I can resolve mail id for the users on unix box.

tom is an unknown quantity at this point
Default

Incoming e-mail addressed is stored in the file /var/mail/user-id, so if user id is tom. then it should be /var/mail/tom. And if your domain is abc.com then email id becomes tom@abc.com. This is what default setup is for most UNIX Oses.
