Schema
Extensions aren't bad, if they are documented correctly and properly replicated
throughout the forest. Rob, didn't you say that you found a way to clean
up old schema extensions that Microsoft "fixed" in SP3.
Dean,
Why is it necessary for you to extend the native tool
function? If it is to have better Data Administration functions, I
would recommend using a third-party products. I personally think
investing time and money into the native tools for data administers is like
giving children razor blades. Directory Administrators on the other
hand can use tools like Hyena, or one of the many tools out there, but you are
right, to get extended functions, the only way is to either forest prep
using Microsoft regression tested methods, or roll you
own.
So the question is, are you that good!
This isn't to say can you write a script to do
it, more so, can you predict how long their directory will be used, and if your
extensions will one day cause more problems than its worth to the next guy who
supports them. I have to say you do have a very
impressive Microsoft knowledge base in your brain, and intellectual
grasps of the cause and effect of changes in Microsoft Technology, so I am
not really worried. Just trying the scare off the faint of
heart.
From what you describe though, it doesn't sound to
difficult and I have modified display specifies many of times. (Who in the
heck searches an address book by first name? The guy who wrote AD U&C
must have had some good drugs that day.)
