I have been reading Microsoft's "Step-by-Step Guide to Using Active Directory Schema and Display Specifiers" http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/techinfo/planning/activedirectory/a dschemasteps.asp <http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/techinfo/planning/activedirectory/ adschemasteps.asp> and wanted to get some feedback from people who have "been there, done that" before I try this in the lab environment. Does anyone have any advice for do's and dont's with regards to adding new attributes into Active Directory?
