Active Directory and the App store

Question
-
I am wondering how corporation are going to use Win 8. Are they going to use Active directory to authenticate? If so, how the app store is going to work? I would need to validate the user on the server too.

Don't think the Windows App Store has any management capabilities to it, e.g. the ability to push apps, or uninstall remotely. Corporations might need to use, I think System Center, for something like that.

But what the App Store is going to use to identify the devise/user then? There would be some sort of link between a Live Id account and Active Directory?
