DataAdapter for Active Directory/LDAP?

I'm writing a bunch of AD code for adding users, groups, etc. and I got to thinking, “Wouldn't it be cool if there was an AD DataAdapter for managing AD objects using DataSets?”  You can, of course, load AD data into DataSets through linked servers, but AFAIK, there's no DataAdapter for automatically handling the updates/inserts/deletions. Does anyone know of anything out there that does this?

Would the Identity Integration Feature Pack for Microsoft Windows Server Active Directory help?

Available here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=d9143610-c04d-41c4-b7ea-6f56819769d5&DisplayLang=en

Overview:
Identity Integration Feature Pack for Microsoft® Windows Serverâ„¢ Active Directory® manages identities and coordinates user details across Microsoft Active Directory, Active Directory Application Mode (ADAM), Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server, and Exchange Server 2003 implementations. Using Identity Integration Feature Pack, you can combine identity information for a given user or resource into a single, logical view. Identity Integration Feature Pack also automates the provisioning of new and updated identity data, eliminating time-consuming, repetitive administration and the need to manually add, delete, or update identity information, groups, and user accounts.

Oh yeah, almost forgot about this one, the C# LDAP library:
