title: Silverlight and Active Directory Interaction
body: <p>I am planning to familiarize(<em>read teach</em>) myself with <code>Silverlight</code> by building an in-house app for managing our employees.</p>
  <p>I, obviously, would need this to interact with <code>Active Directory</code> on some level.</p>
  <p>What are my options?  Has anyone tried this before?</p>
  <p>I am currently going to explore using Services(<em>WCF???</em>) to do the AD interaction portion?  Thoughts?</p>
  <p>There is also <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2184692/updating-active-directory-user-properties-in-active-directory-using-powershell">this SO Post</a> on using <code>PowerShell</code> to interact with AD.  Maybe that is a possibility?</p>
  <p>Thanks,</p>

  <h2>EDIT:</h2>
  <p>Too clarify what I meant by &quot;...interact with Active Directory...&quot;  I was referring to being able to create New Users, reset they're passwords, change they're Member Of groups, etc.  Not JUST authenticating through AD.</p>
  <p>Does this make it clearer?</p>
