OK. The control I was talking about would require Visual Basic or C++ programming, and the result would be a binary DLL file.
Fortunately, there is also a lighter script-based version. It doesn't create a new tab in user properties, but it appears in the context menu of the user. I copied the following lines from our book "Inside Active Directory", and hope that our publisher wont sue me because of a copyright violation... 1. Using ADSI Edit, locate the user-Display object (in CN=409, CN=DisplaySpecifiers, CN=Configuration). 2. Select the adminContextMenu attribute. Add to the attribute the value "2, Employee &ID, c:\test\employeeid.vbs" (without quotes). Do not remove the existing values, and if number 2 is already in use, select a free number. 3. On the computer, where you will test or use ADUC, create the file c:\test\employeeid.vbs and add the lines from http://www.kouti.com/scripts.htm. I wrote the script today, but cannot post it until a couple of hours later. I'll put it under Bonus Material at the bottom of the page. 4. Start ADUC and right-click any user object, and you should see "Employee ID" in the context menu.
