I support most wishes in here. Guidos wish: I'd prefer to be able to add the domains I want to administer in ADUC, but see all of the selectively added domains in a tree view.
Also provide a possibility to extend property sheets easily, such as the Outlook Adressbook can be configured. I'd prefer to see this in ADUCs Objects Properties, such as EmployeeID a.s.o. Provide a more easier way than COM and C++ to extend the wizards and interfaces. Move to MMC2.0 Ability to add custom attributes to the list view easily, different per client a.s.o. Ability to modify attributes in the list view, such as Exchange. Keep this possibility off by default, but enable admins to individually switch it on per client. For more changes it would be so cool just to change the phone-numbers or anything else in the list view. Click it, F2-Change it, then press Arrow-Down to move to the same property of the next user (Or Enter / Arrow-right for the next attribute of the same user). Gruesse - Sincerely, Ulf B.

Everyone who has an idea for a change to ADUC post to the ideas to this thread. Don't be shy, you may have thought of something no one else would think of that once seeing it would go this is very cool. Then when the thread seems to die (or some point after that when I catch up :oP ) I will summarize to make sure I understand and then post to LadyBug as improvements that could be made. Also, you may or may not be shocked to hear that many of the folks working on the stuff in Redmond actually watch this list on a regular basis too so they may see it directly. I know the conversation we had previously about suggested improvements to AD was watched pretty closely and generated several DCRs without me even arguing with anyone. So let's hear it. First item on the table is different icons flagging accounts (and I am stating this generically) that are not currently live. This includes disabled, locked, expired passwords, expired accounts? Would this be better to add maybe as additional columns that you could tell the GUI to sort on? Or the icons are best? Note to Dean: This is D's bailywick now isn't it? I think I recall us having this conversation at BB. joe -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Thommes, Michael M.

How do you want the GUI to present things to you. The developers or whomever wrote the spec for the developers didn't feel it should. You also have to ask if accounts with locked passwords should show up that way and define if you mean expired accounts or expired passwords on accounts and whether or not you would differentiate them in that marking. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Douglas M.
