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.

Is the ability to create Solicit-Response ports that query Active Directory on demand part of the Receive Adapter or the Send Adapter?
Both. The query is sent out by the send adapter. The actual querying is done by components of the receive adapter. Therefore, to be licensed to create Solicit-Response send ports, you need to be licensed for both the ActiveADAPTER send and receive adapters.
Can I use ActiveADAPTER components in multiple BizTalk applications?
Yes. Once installed, ActiveADAPTER Active Directory Send and Receive Adapters will be an available option for all Send Ports and Receive Locations.
