Dave,
Active Directory has long been my favorite target because of the power a Domain 
Admin wields combined with the odds and ends that get integrated means any bug 
can be devastating

The "cloud" has been making vast inroads in Enterprise customer bases. I find 
companies that have started post 2010 that are large enough to require pen 
tests favor the out sourced infrastructure. 

Alas AD is becoming less important and Microsoft might come out ahead on the 
technical debt because the pushed the can down the road far enough to where 
they are no longer as important.
