title: Store Application Data in Active Directory
body: <p>We're going to be moving lots of computers round in the fairly near future, and I thought I'd get all prepared by migrating all my application connection strings into one central location, so that I can update them in one fell swoop when the time comes.</p>
  
  <p>I thought: "I know, I'll store them in the Active Directory"</p>
  
  <p>Unfortunately, my knowledge of Active Directory is so slim as to be almost negligible. I can read groups and detect which users are in those groups, and basic things like that, but I would not know how to go about structuring Active Directory to hold this information.</p>
  
  <p>I thought it might be good to have a "ConnectionRespository" place, with lots of named "Connection" objects in it, but I have no ideas how to go about setting up such a thing. Ideally, I'd like an application (in C#) to manage it, adding and removing Connection objects as necessary.</p>
  
  <p>Any ideas greatly appreciated.</p>
