How To Show/Edit EmployeeID in Users and Computers snap-in?

[Frank Stegerwald]

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.

Thanks for any help

you'll need to develop your own console.

To change the GUI you need to do some programming. MS provides info on how
to extend the GUI.
to enter employee ID you need to do some provisioning or you scripts to
populate the attribute
to view the information of the attribute you can use the method as mentioned
at:
http://www.kouti.com/scripts.htm
search for employeeID.vbs

you can of course extend the script and make it possible to enter more
attributes than just one

oh and that site contains a lot more cool scripts and things! ;-)

You could use DSRAZOR to create a custom GUI for user provisioning or for
user edits. It allows you to add edit fields to a form and assign those edit
fields to any attribute within your AD Schema.

It requires no programming. You can use a simple drag-and-drop type
interface to build your custom GUI.
