C# Active Directory Library

Has anyone seen any solid libraries for working with active directory (mainly user related stuff) in C# and asp.net. Am I better off intergrating with asp membership or building something customised.

I took a look at LINQtoAD but it doesnt seem to be active anymore.

Is the System.DirectoryServices assembly and namespace insufficient?

I can vouch for `System.DirectoryServices`!

It works really well, but it's painful to work with AD Directly.

+3 A:

If you're on .NET 3.5, also check out System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement for much simpler interface when it comes to handling principals - users, groups, computers etc.

Check out this MSDN article as a great intro into S.DS.AD:

Managing Directory Security Principals in the .NET Framework 3.5

Cheers!
