Adding an attribute to the 'user' class

[Lloyd McTough]

I'm trying to add a new attribute to the 'user' class and I believe in order
to do this, I need to input an 'Object Identifier' (OID). After doing a bit
of research, it looked as if there was a tool called OIDGEN in the resource
kit for generating the numbers. The first number generated by this tool was
an "Attribute Base OID".

Am I safe to add this generated OID as the value for my new Attribute in the
'user' class/will this cause any problems with Win2003?

You want to make sure you yank a unique OID from the Microsoft website, or
some other OID hander-outer. That is, you can come up to MS (or anyone else)
and get a unique scope of OID's. Then in there you can use any OID you
desire without the worry of overlap. It is like IP's in concept.

The site is up on MSDN but don't have the link handy. Let me know if you
can't find it.

Yep, I can't find it ... every time i try to use the MSDN register link, it
redirects me to the following site...

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/partners/isvs/c fw.mspx

Any ideas?

TIA
