Andrew,Can you explain what reasons would be good reasons to choose to publish SQL Server info to AD? I'm relatively new to the administrative pieces of SQL Server, and would like some background on this topic ... It also would be useful for me to know how the answer to the above question applies in a home network scenario, and specifically where one has a website that has financial data on said SQL Server, where I'd be restricting access to specific authenticated users. Could such publication be more of a risk than a helpful thing?

I see your point, perhaps a useful scenario (lacking background knowledge on SQL Server) would be that I might need to retrieve personal information of employees into the Active Directory Domain, using procedural scripts. Assuming this can be done it would be helpful in this case.
