I am planning to familiarize(read teach) myself with Silverlight by building an in-house app for managing our employees.

I, obviously, would need this to interact with Active Directory on some level.

What are my options? Has anyone tried this before?

I am currently going to explore using Services(WCF???) to do the AD interaction portion? Thoughts?

There is also this SO Post on using PowerShell to interact with AD. Maybe that is a possibility?

Thanks,
