Hello,
I'm trying to query/update users in Active Directory (e.g. return all attributes for cn=John Smith,ou=users,dc=fabrikam,dc=com, change attributes like manager, email address, display name), preferably through the use of web services, or HTTP GET/POST/PUT/etc.
I installed and configured DSML on a Windows 2008 R2 and it had exactly what I needed, without realizing the service has been deprecated. Can I get that same functionality (send web service/http requests to query/update AD users) through Active Directory Web Services (ADWS)?
I've been looking through all the documentation on MSDN (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd391908(v=ws.10).aspx and others) but am still not clear if ADWS can replicate the same functionality through just web services. I don't see that same functionality in the wsdl described here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd391908(v=ws.10).aspx.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Edit: I see you can manage AD information through a few different APIs (ADSI, LDAP API, System.DirectoryServices), and they give an example of reading/writing AD object attributes here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa746292(v=vs.85).aspx. Can this be done through ADWS?
