Well is no other workstation needs LDAP then only allow connections from
your workstation.
I looked on my exchange 5.5 box and don't see a method to limit the query to
a domain.
I do see the ability to set the search base in Outlook XP.

My guess would be that the permissions need to be set within AD itself, but
I don't have a place to test the theory.


As a side note you may need to use cn=admin to identify your login if you
need to return objects that are hidden.
