I don't think that there is a "built-in" way to do this, but I have seen several methods for doing this. One way is to use a primary/unique key from another system (i.e. an employee number from an HR database), another way is to create a GUID for each object prior to creating it in the Directory. You can muck around in the schema to set a attribute globally unique, if you want to avoid doing the lookup for an existing entry when you create a new one.
