Yeah. Joe just emailed me too offlist - I seem to be hallucinating. I've seen it in so many directories I guess I thought it was part of the standard <g>. My suggestion is to keep birthDate in HR but you can easily extend the schema to include it if you want.

Where would I find this? If it already exists I think I'd be better off using that one.

Second you need to register a prefix and OID tree with Microsoft on MSDN. This is how you will get a starting point for OIDs. You'll also get a prefix so it would be ewu-birthMonth or something. Don't use oidgen.

I'd like to add birthMonth, birthDay, birthYear to my Active Directory Schema for extra data to store for my users. Looking in MMC -> Schema, I see I can add an attribute, but it wants an Object ID (OID). I know there's a oidgen program somewhere (haven't found it yet). but is that the best way to do it?
