If you use the schema management snap-in instead to do this, there's a cehckbox to copy the attribute. Perhaps a bit less dangerous than tinkering in adsiedit: Start>run>regsvr32 schmmgmt.dll start>run>schmmgmt.msc Browse down to the streetAddress attribute, there's a checkbox on the bottom of one of the property page that says somethign to the tune of "Copy this attribute in ADUC". --Brian --Brian Desmond [EMAIL PROTECTED] Payton on the web! www.wpcp.org v - 773.534.0034 x135 f - 773.534.8101
________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of Sakari Kouti Sent: Mon 3/7/2005 6:03 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Ad users and Computers Hi Christine, My guess is that Microsoft accidentally flagged a wrong attribute to be copied when a user is copied. The "Street" attribute you see in ADUC is stored in the "streetAddress" attribute (which is an LDAP name), and that attribute is not copied. However, another attribute with an LDAP name is "street" is copied. It is not visible in ADUC and normally you don't use it for anything. Some other attributes that might be logical to copy are (as a matter of taste): - General tab: Office - Telephones tab: Fax And now for the practical part: To specify the correct Street attribute to be copied: - Log on as a Schema Admin - Enable schema modifications. If you know how to use RegEdt32, start it and select the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE window. Next, locate the key SYSTEM-CurrentControlSet-Services-NTDS-Parameters. Under that key, add a value (if it doesn't exist already) named Schema Update Allowed, with a data type REG_DWORD and data "1" (without quotes). If the value already exists, change the data to "1". When you later disable schema changes, either change the data to "0" or remove the whole value (i.e., the parameter line). - Start ADSI Edit which is part of the Server support tools (adsiedit.msc) - Locate the Schema container - Locate the object CN=Address - Open it and modify its searchFlags from 0 to 16, and save - Disable schema modifications (see above) Then you may have to wait five minutes for the schema cache to refresh (I don't go into triggering it here). And you probably need to restart ADUC, but after that the Street attribute should get copied. Yours, Sakari PS. If you do something wrong here, at most you need to reinstall your forest, so don't worry :-) PPS. Schema modifications don't need to be enabled/disabled on WS2003. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of > Christine Allen > Sent: Monday, March 07, 2005 9:42 PM > To: '[email protected]' > Subject: [ActiveDir] Ad users and Computers > > > Running AD 2000, > > I'm creating templates for user creation for the help desk. > However, when > they copy the template it does not copy all the field information like > address.
