+  attributes:
+    description:
+    - The attributes to either add, remove, or set on the AD object.
+    - The value of each attribute option should be a dictionary where the key
+      is the LDAP attribute, e.g. C(firstName), C(comment) and the value is the
+      value, or list of values, to set for that attribute.
+    - The attribute value(s) can either be the raw string, integer, or bool
+      value to add, remove, or set on the attribute in question.
+    - The value can also be a dictionary with the I(type) key set to C(bytes),
+      C(date_time), C(security_descriptor), or C(raw) and the value for this
+      entry under the I(value) key.
+    - The C(bytes) type has a value that is a base64 encoded string of the raw
+      bytes to set.
+    - The C(date_time) type has a value that is the ISO 8601 DateTime string of
+      the DateTime to set. The DateTime will be set as the Microsoft FILETIME
+      integer value which is the number of 100 nanoseconds since 1601-01-01 in
+      UTC.
+    - The C(security_descriptor) type has a value that is the Security
+      Descriptor SDDL string used for the C(nTSecurityDescriptor) attribute.
+    - The C(raw) type is the int, string, or boolean value to set.
+    - String attribute values are compared using a case sensitive match on the
+      AD object being managed.

+        - This is used for attributes that can contain multiple values, if the

+        - This will replace any existing values if they do not match the ones
+          being requested.
+        - The order of attribute values are not checked only, only that the
+          values requested are the only values on the object attribute.
+        - Set this to null or an empty list to clear any values for the
+          attribute.
