How to add some customized attributes to users in AD?

[Guest]

Our application will query AD via LDAP to get some application-specified attributes.
My question is how can I add these additional customized attributes to AD database so that each AD users has these extra attributes for LDAP query?
Such as, Adding Employee ID, Deparment ID number(not name) etc.
Is these any simple tool to do this job? or Do I need to write some programs?
Thanks

It's generally recommended to do it programatically (especially if putting
values in the attributes for each user), but it can be done manually.
