AD Fields

[Sayed]

Hi,

I have Windows 2000 AD and want to populate some of the
fields availbale in AD with information. One thing I want
to do is to add an "Employee Number" for each user in
their user account. But I don't have a field with that
name in user accounts. I know there's a way to add extra
fields in AD. How do I add an extra field called "Employee
Number". Your response will be appreciated. Thanks

The AD Schema contains 3 'employee' related attributes: employeeID,
employeeType and employeeNumber.

All are available on User objects. None are visible in the MS supplied
GUI. If you want to add them to the GUI you're going to have to develop
some C++ code to display the property sheet...not a trivial task unless
you are fluent in C++. Alternatively, what most of us do is code up a
script or ASP page to allow these types of attributes to be manipulated.

Hope that helps,
