Joe,
There are <plug> third party tools that do allow you
to define "rules" for property validation that are enforced on the server side
and not the client side so that they can't be bypassed. You can
define that the phone number must be in the format (xxx) xxx-xxxx and it will
not allow x to be anything but numeric. This format is OK if you're a
North America only company, it gets more complex if you need to support multiple
country phone number formats. These tools also allow for a simplified and
customizable web interface for users to go to for making the change
themselves </plug>.

Oops I
missed that piece. TelephoneNumber is type 2.5.5.12 which is case insensitive
unicode string. You need that because people want to put in () and -.
unfortunately they can also add other letters/characters.

Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Locking Down User Information Fields in ADMaybe someone can indicate how to restrict the field to numeric only (it's not already??? Huh - never tried, I guess.....), I suspect it's a schema mod - but I thought that I answered the rest of the question, did I not?Rick Kingslan MCSE, MCSA, MCT

Subject: [ActiveDir] Locking Down User Information Fields in ADJust curious how I would go about stopping a user from being able to update their address, website, etc under their own account. AD...Basically I want them only to be able to update their own phone # and nothing else and I would also like to force it to be strictly a numeric only field (which it isn't by default.)Any ideas??Thanks,-Tim
