How to view other attributes in Active Directory Users & C..

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.active_directory (More info?)

Hi,

Is there a way to make other attributes, like EmployeeID, visible in the AD
Users & Computers snap-in? I know I can view/edit those attributes using
ADSI Edit, but that program is not user friendly. I want to be able to add
certain properties to users when I create them.

T.I.A.

You need to manage the display specifiers to add context menus to your
administrative tools.
A couple of useful links:

Thanks, Jimmy. I'll have a look at that.

Hello Jimmy,

It says:
Create the property sheet extension DLL. A property sheet extension is a COM
in-proc server that, at a minimum, implements the IShellExtInit and
IShellPropSheetExt interfaces. For more information, see Implementing the
Property Page COM Object.

Does that mean that I have to create a program (dll)? If so, is there no
easy way to click on a checkmark to have an attribute displayed in de Users
& Computers interface?

T.I.A.

Evert

Well, no. But there is another way if you're comfortable writing code, and
that is to write your own UI and publish it via IIS...
