[K12OSN] SMB/LDAP Installer upgrades

I ran all the tests at the bottom and everything worked. The only thing 
that may have not worked and I would not know if it was normal or not, 
is being asked for a password when doing the ldapsearch. I do not know 
the password it wants.
Also I tried to connect a xp pro machine to it last night and it said 
either the username or password was invalid (from memory). I came in 
early today to take down my win2k server and play a little bit before 
everyone else shows up.
