How to setup web service to access Active Directory

[kb at donovanhill]

I would like to setup a web service so Infopath 2007 can access AD
information, I tried to use the tutorial supplied by David Fries
http://blogs.msdn.com/davfries/archive/2004/06/29/169043.aspx
but without success.

Is there any up to date 'step by step' tutorials that's specific for this
task?

Thanks

is it some application?

Thanks
