I looked at that on mine (I usually stay away from the schema snap-in <G>) and saw the box, but it was greyed out. Other attributes, such as street, had the box checked but still greyed out. Yet others had the box not greyed out at all. I wonder what the criteria are for making that box available? I was checking with schema admin perms...
