RE: [ActiveDir] How to make EmployeeNumber unique?
if your process is the only one creating the numbers, then you simply have to have a store that remembers the last number passed out and increments it appropriately. That store could even be an object/attribute in the config container of your AD - but you'd have to make sure that you always use the same DC so that replication doesn't come in your way. Only when your "primary" DC isn't available, you'd switch over to another DC (and then do a higher increment of whatever number it knows of - sort of like a FSMO role scenario). This even works for multiple processes that use and update the counter - but you'd have to add the logic for them to use the same DCs as primary and failover to read the last value and incease it appropriately. /Guido From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of ADSent: Montag, 13.

RE: [ActiveDir] How to make EmployeeNumber unique?
I actually like the idea of assigning a unique ID from another system (say like a UID) but as an alternative possibility that doesn't require using another store... If a single domain, use the RID of the users. If multiple domain, use some value for each domain like 0=domain0, 1=domain1, 2=domain2, or actual prefix like Dom1, Dom2, Dom3, to prepend to the RID. Of course the question that has to be asked, what about users who are moved from one domain to another. Does it happen? And if so, what does it mean in relation to this remedy ID? -- O'Reilly Active Directory Third Edition - http://www.joeware.net/win/ad3e.htm From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Al MulnickSent: Monday, March 13, 2006 2:51 PMTo: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.orgSubject: Re: [ActiveDir] How to make EmployeeNumber unique?

Hey, Can anyone tell me how I can force uniqueness on the EmployeeNumber attribute? I researched it for about 30 minutes but could not find an answer. I usually would take more time but I am in a hurry.

RE: [ActiveDir] How to make EmployeeNumber unique?
I suspect you will need an external process to do this. There is no built-in capability for enforcing this kind of uniqueness. So you will need some centralized script or application that all changes to this attribute go through for validation.
