You aren't missing anything. Extending ADUC to display new fields it doesn't already display is generally not trivial. Unless you are a programmer, it is often considered out of reach.
The most quick and dirty solution is to write a script to do the update. After that would be using a web interface of some sort or something like that. If you are a programmer, you can fairly quickly throw together a form display what you want displayed the way you want it displayed and even include business logic in what gets set and how which can be specific to your company, division, group, team, etc... Just don't forget that those business rules are in your client and not in the server so don't expect them to always be correct as someone could use another method to update the fields. joe -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Gary Clark Sent: Tuesday, March 01, 2005 10:28 AM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: [ActiveDir] The missing fields There are a number of useful fields in AD Room number, License Plate etc that are not presented in ADUC, the recommendation is to fill them in programmatically. I have been asked to delegate the power to edit these fields to a phone book operator, who really wants a simply interface like users and computers. The search function can be harnessed with a QDS file query and rundll32 C:\WINDOWS\system32\dsquery.dll,OpenSavedDsQuery %1 which allows the user to edit given the right privs most of the data but some of it e.g. room number is still beyond my reach. Its such a simple thing that I know I'm missing something obvious but some help would be appreciated. What approaches are other people using if any or do we not use these "hidden" unless its with dsmod?
