...or ADAM. These kinds of requests have a tendency to creep beyond the original scope, which can have unintended consequences if the upfront planning falls short.

And, it's not overly difficult to DO, but the upfront planning that SHOULD be done can be tedious. Remember - this is the schema. My opinion - and it seems to be free today (as if I've ever been afraid to give it...) - This is a job that just screams SQL server. I can't imagine WHY AD would be a better choice in this case. As long as the apps are all able to connect via a SQL provider in some method (and goodness knows Microsoft has made a lot of them available....), this should be no pain at all.

He would like to add some custom fields, about 30, to AD. He would like to add bio information into AD to be pulled by Sharepoint and other applications for people to read. I think that this is a waste of time, space and effort. However, it is not my call and if this is what he wants.... What are everyone's thoughts on the topic?
