LDAP/Active Directory: Query for properties such as a user's phone number and E-Mail address for a given user SID

Tags: Scripting, C/C++, LDAP, Active Directory, Novell, Authorization, Windows 2000 Server, Windows 2003 Server,
Is it possible to query a user's information stored in Active Directory or in a Novell server, like the phone number, E-Mail address etc., when only the user's SID is given? Can you just open a "default" LDAP connection and query for the properties of an object that has objectSid=<mySid>? How would such a query look like? What if the user is defined in a different domain?

Will the same query succeed if Novell is used as a directory service?

I appreciate any kind of hint on this.
