The first thing is that we may not change the directory the
registry file is located in the registry config itself.

Attached find a patch that adds "state directory" to the
list of forbidden parameters in the registry.
Please review and push if you are ok with it.
We should probably also do a bug report for this
for 4.1, 4.0, 3.6 ...

The next thing is that it would certainly be nice to
use registry config for the AD setup. There are various
possible ways out of that. Either we put the sysvol
into a different path. Or we put the registry db into
a different path. Maybe others. This needs more thought,
at least from my side. Possibly others have more ideas.

Cheers - Michael
