Hi Gary, Without C programming, you can add a small VB script to the context menu (i.e., right-click menu) of a user in ADUC.
See the employeeID sample at the bottom of the page http://www.kouti.com/scripts.htm There is also a reference documentation of the user attributes as an Excel sheet at http://www.kouti.com/tables.htm And the instructions for using employeeID.vbs, or your modification of it, is here: 1. Using ADSI Edit, locate the user-Display object (in CN=409, CN=DisplaySpecifiers, CN=Configuration). 2. Select the adminContextMenu attribute. Add to the attribute the value "2, Employee &ID, c:\test\employeeid.vbs" (without quotes). Do not remove the existing values, and if number 2 is already in use, select a free number. 3. On the computer, where you will test or use ADUC, create the file c:\test\employeeid.vbs and add the lines from my sample. 4. Start ADUC and right-click any user object, and you should see "Employee ID" in the context menu.
