Hummm, that may be a feature from Active directory.
When searching in LDAP:
attribue=* means the attribute is present and set
!(attribute=*) means the attribute is not set or the attribute is not
present (this attribute does not exist for that object, or the
attribute exist for the object but is not being used)
I am not using active directory but OpenLDAP, so I canno help further.
Bests,
Olivier
