I'm actually not much of an AzMan expert either as I've never built anything
in production with it.
You probably want to get some more details from someone deeper in this. You
might try asking in one of the .NET security news groups to see if you can
catch Dominick Bauer's attention.
It wasn't clear to me if you were using ADAM for the policy store or the
auth store or both. Can you clarify that part?
It does seem to me like something is very wrong if you need an ADAM instance
on each machine you are deploying to. That is definitely not the intended
way. Is there a reason why you can't connect to an ADAM instance on the
network?
