Understood, the point with AD is 1) getting the AD admin to let you in
to maintain the information and 2) the AD admin messing with our data.
Definitely a BAD thing to do.

Shared Wintel drive, specific folder with tnsnames.ora.
Master copy in central site, gets replicated to all
the distributed file servers with this shared drive.
Workstations using two-tier c/s are configured to look
for tnsnames in shared drive.  Three-tier app servers
simply have tnsnames pushed via ftp every time a refresh
is needed.

Quick and above all: much, much simpler and easier
to maintain than all that OID rigmarole.  Particularly
in an AD environment.  (Yes, I *am* aware OID can talk
with ad: that is *not* the point)
