If you want to have something show up on the users property pages, then you need to register a handler to do so, see the MSDN link.

You can do this by browsing to the display specifier for your language, i.e. in ADSIEDIT browse to CN=Configuration,DC=domain,DC=com expand DisplaySpecifiers expand your language; English is 409 show the properties for CN=user-Display show properties for contextMenu and add values in the following format: order, diplay value,path_to_script E.G. a value I have is: 11, Show &Value,\\server\share\script.vbs the script doesn't need to be complicated in this case, as all you're doing is displaying a value with an option to change it; The ADUC gui passes the object reference as a command line to the script. in this script example, I'm displaying the users description attribute with a gui option to change. BEGIN SCRIPT ++++++++++++++++++++ set wshArguments =wscript.arguments set objuser=getobject(wsharguments(0)) sName = inputbox("Enter a new desciption","Description Box", objuser.description) if sName = "" then wscript.quit ' user clicked cancel objuser.description = sName objuser.setinfo ++++++++++++++++++++++ END SCRIPT Note that the attribute showinadvancedviewonly affects the visibility of this item as well, which means that you may chose to only have this new menu item pop up when show advanced is chosen. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Devan Pala Sent: 22 April 2004 10:40 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ActiveDir] Extending ADUC Hi, Is it possible to modify the User Property Pages (GUI) to include a Employee ID or Number attribute within a user object.
