Is there a WCF version of ActiveADAPTER?
Yes. ActiveADAPTER is available as a Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) service. So with or without BizTalk Server, you can query and update Active Directory with ActiveADAPTER
ActiveADAPTER WCF exposes essentially the same functionality as our Active Directory Send and Receive Adapters.
ActiveADAPTER WCF services can be consumed by BizTalk Server, but BizTalk Server is not required.

Will the ActiveADAPTER Send Adapter return error information back to my orchestration?
Yes. The adapter will return any exceptions back to your application AFTER any retries you have configured have been done.
Within your orchestration you can use Scope shapes to catch exceptions. In your exception handlers you can retrieve the error description to determine which way to branch.
Sample orchestrations that illustrate exception handing are included in the ActiveADAPTER Samples folder.
My Solicit-Response Send Port Query Is Only Returning 1000 Results
Try adding the setting PageSize="1000" to your query parameters. For example:
<ActiveDirectoryQuery><Directives WhereToBind="LDAP://CN=Users, DC=test, DC=com" Filter="(objectCategory=user)" SearchScope="onelevel" PropertiesToReturn="cn" PageSize="1000"/></ActiveDirectoryQuery>
By default Active Directory only allows for a single page of 1000 results. By explicitly setting this value multiple pages (and hence all results) are returned.
