Replacing DMT ED with an AD based DMT, then ADWS might be of interest.

An ADWS overview and supported web service protocols

ADWS is a native option in Windows 2008 R2, it is also available as a download to allow the same usablility on older OSes like Windows 2008 SP1 and Windows 2003 SP2. http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=969041
Here's the AD Powershell blog...lotsa of great info here on managing AD from Powershell. BTW- The AD Powershell module connects to ADWS, so ADWS needs to be up and running to take advantage of the nifty features.

Microsoft Cluster Service Command Line Tools – Cluster
The ‘cluster’ command can be used to either create a new cluster, or administer an existing cluster from a command line.
The basic syntax for the cluster command is:
cluster [[/cluster:]ClusterName] /Option
If creating a new cluster, these additional parameters should be added as Options:
ClusterName /create /ipaddrr:Static_IP_Address [,SubnetMask,NetworkConnectionName] /pass:Password /user:{Domain\UserName} [/node:NodeName] [/verb] [/unattend] [/min]
You can also add one or more nodes to an existing cluster:
ClusterName /add[nodes][:NodeName1[NodeName2, ....]] [/pass:Password] [/verb] [/unattend] [/min]
Note: the parameters /verb, /unattend, and /min stand for ‘verbose’, ‘undattended’, and ‘minimum respectively, and all three are optional:
Verbose – Writes all event messages to the cluster log.
Unattended – You will not be prompted for passwords not supplied at the command prompt.
Minimum – Creates a cluster using the Advanced (minimum) Configuration option. This option is used when creating clusters with complex storage configurations.
Rename a cluster: /ren:ClusterName
Display the Cluster Service version number: /ver
Change the Cluster Service account password on the domain controller and all nodes in the cluster:
/cluster:ClusterName/changepass:NewPassword[,OldPassword] [/skipdc] [/force] [/test] [/quiet] [/verb] [/unattend] [/help]
The optional parameters at the end of the above command line are as follows:
/skipdc – Changes the Cluster Service account password on only the cluster nodes, and not the DC.
/force – Forces the password change on all cluster nodes, even if some of the nodes are down or in an unknown state.
/test – This will open a connection to the cluster and verify that the password change was successful.
/quiet – No output will be displayed after the command is run.
/verb – Shows detailed information about the processes the command is running.
/help – Displays help information for the ‘cluster / changepass’ command only.
List the priority of all internal networks: /listnetpri
Set the priority order of internal networks: /setnetpri:NetworkName
Change the name, location, or size of the quorum or the quorum log:
/quorum[resource][:ResourceName] [/path:Drive:\Path\] [maxlogsize:MaximumSize_in_Kilobytes]
Register a Cluster Administrator extension DLL within the cluster:/reg[admin]ext:AdminExtension_DLL
Unregister a Cluster Administrator extension DLL within the cluster: /unreg[admin]ext:AdminExtension_DLL
Shows a list of all clusters in a specified domain: /list:[DomainName]
View a cluster’s properties: /prop [PropertyList]
View a cluster’s private properties: /priv [PropertyList]
