The original poster's question is only applicable to running on Windows. But aside from that, I'll echo you in wondering what version of OpenLDAP.

As I recall (don't have the code handy at the moment) the Windows port writes all logging to a file named "openldap.log" in the current working directory of the slapd process.

It generally also looks for a slapd.conf in the current working directory of the slapd process. If they're editing a slapd.conf file and seeing no difference in behavior, perhaps they're editing the wrong file. As the default slapd.conf path may be overridden with a Registry entry, they'd need to doublecheck the registry to make sure they're looking at the correct file.
