Memory is hazy about this, but I seem to remember that it was done as
two steps because AD didn't allow userAccountControl to be set in the
ADD. It had to be set by a separate MOD. Perhaps AD has changed since
that time in this respect though.

Then this is a bug in the winsync code. In the ADD case, it should
just force userAccountControl to the Normal value. In the MOD case,
it should |= the value. John, can you open a bug about this issue?
