function Register-DMAccessRule
{
    <#
    .SYNOPSIS
        Registers a new access rule as a desired state.
     
    .DESCRIPTION
        Registers a new access rule as a desired state.
        These are then compared with a domain's configuration when executing Test-DMAccessRule.
        See that command for more details on this procedure.
     
    .PARAMETER Path
        The path to the AD object to govern.
        This should be a distinguishedname.
        This path uses name resolution.
        For example %DomainDN% will be replaced with the DN of the target domain itself (and should probably be part of everyy single path).
     
    .PARAMETER ObjectCategory
        Instead of a path, define a category to apply the rule to.
        Categories are defined using Register-DMObjectCategory.
        This allows you to apply rules to a category of objects, rather than a specific path.
        With this you could apply a rule to all domain controller objects, for example.
     
    .PARAMETER Identity
        The identity to apply the rule to.
        Use the string '<Parent>' to apply the rule to the parent object of the object affected by this rule.
     
    .PARAMETER AccessControlType
        Whether this is an Allow or Deny rule.
     
    .PARAMETER ActiveDirectoryRights
        The actual rights to grant.
        This is a [string] type to allow some invalid values that happen in the field and are still applied by AD.
     
    .PARAMETER InheritanceType
        How the Access Rule is being inherited.
     
    .PARAMETER InheritedObjectType
        Name or Guid of property or right affected by this rule.
        Access Rules are governed by ObjectType and InheritedObjectType to affect what objects to affect (e.g. Computer, User, ...),
        what properties to affect (e.g.: User-Account-Control) or what extended rights to grant.
        Which in what combination applies depends on the ActiveDirectoryRights set.
     
    .PARAMETER ObjectType
        Name or Guid of property or right affected by this rule.
        Access Rules are governed by ObjectType and InheritedObjectType to affect what objects to affect (e.g. Computer, User, ...),
        what properties to affect (e.g.: User-Account-Control) or what extended rights to grant.
        Which in what combination applies depends on the ActiveDirectoryRights set.
 
    .PARAMETER Optional
        The path this access rule object is assigned to is optional and need not exist.
        This makes the rule apply only if the object exists, without triggering errors if it doesn't.
        It will also ignore access errors on the object.
        Note: Only if all access rules assigned to an object are set to $true, will the object be considered optional.
     
    .EXAMPLE
        PS C:\> Register-DMAccessRule -ObjectCategory DomainControllers -Identity '%DomainName%\Domain Admins' -ActiveDirectoryRights GenericAll
 
        Grants the domain admins of the target domain FullControl over all domain controllers, without any inheritance.
