Show User Attributes in MMC

[jacob.eiler]

We are now using the w2k3 R2 AD user attributes employeeID and
employeeNumber (ldap values) to store our employee ID numbers and a
security pin for resetting passwords. However, we can't see the
information readily. I have created a web app that will allow us to
view and change the data; however, my boss doesn't want another
application - he wants to see and edit the information in Active
Directory Users and Computers.

How can I get these two attributes to show up in the MMC, either on a
current tab or a new tab, and make them so that we can view and edit
them for users? If you can point me in the right direction or show me
a sample that would be great.

Thanks so much,

Jacob Eiler

So i see that I can create a tab, but I don't understand all this COM -
I usually create things in C# or ASP.NET - would you be able to show me
how to create the properties page to display just something simple like
a first name label and textbox to edit the value?

Thanks,

Jacob

Unfortunately You will have to go through it and code it in C++ :
