Does anyone know how to get a Pocket PC to connect to an Active Directory
Windows 2003 machine?

I need to connect to an SQL Server database on the machine, but it (Active
Directory) won't allow that.

I want to try just connecting to the Active Directory machine, but I can't
seem to find any info on how to connect using a Pocket PC and its limited
abilities.

Sorry for the delay, I'd missed this one.

Windows Mobile / PocketPC's support LDAP, which is an API set for talking to
Active Directories directly. Check out ldap_open & related API's. I don't
know how far back LDAP goes as far as being on devices, I'm pretty sure it's
on WM5 but I don't know about PPC2003 & before. Your SDK docs should have
the info.
