During the course of a recent project, the AzMan was selected as the authorization mechanism. After a fue rock hammering, it was was up mand running with a XML authorization store. The development went just fine untill the day the decision came to move the store to the AD. PANIC! There is no automatic procedure to move all the configuration from one store to another and if you have 100 oferations, associated to 30 or 40 Tasks with 10 Groups of users, your about to spend some time in this procedure…
Fortunately there is a tool that does just this for you. I couldn’t find the author’s site, but you cand get it from here: http://www.leastprivilege.com/CommentView.aspx?guid=d3571ff8-7cee-4336-9e5d-a1972dde8495

BTW, Azman is still alive. It is still present in Windows Server 2008
