I need a little guidance with AD schema extensions. I'm new to the list (and AD), so forgive me if this has been covered - I did browse/search the archives.
We publish a unified messaging product that uses LDAP on the back end. We've been using openldap on linux, but will be moving to AD on 2k. In openldap, we created an objectclass for each user's voicemail attributes that we need - some mandatory and some optional. We need the same attributes available in AD. I'm thinking of doing this two ways, and was hoping for some input from someone with experience before implementing and testing either of them. 1. Create a new class and list it as an auxilary to the 'user' class. 2. Add the attributes to the 'user' class. I think #1 is the appropriate way to go, but #2 might be easier if it'll work. Based on what I've read about AD, I think that if we list any attributes as mandatory, we'll also have to create a property sheet for them in the User Properties dialog, as well as a page in the new user wizard, OR add users exclusively through LDAP, ADSI or scripts. If absolutely necessary, we could make the mandatory attributes in our class optional. Any input or suggestions would be very much appreciated.
