Hope away, won't help. :o) Even sAMAccountName uniqueness can be sidestepped, it is a distributed system, the only way to get true enforced uniqueness is to singlehome/singlemaster the updates that you want to be unique. I have asked for triggers and business rules in AD but was told by Stuart Kwan of the Ottawa Kwan Clan that they have already implemented those for us.... in MIIS. joe -- O'Reilly Active Directory Third Edition - http://www.joeware.net/win/ad3e.htm

I was hoping I can flick a switch to enforce uniqueness. Kinda like samaccount name or DN. _____ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of Darren Mar-Elia Sent: Mon 13/03/2006 11:24 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] How to make EmployeeNumber unique? I suspect you will need an external process to do this. There is no built-in capability for enforcing this kind of uniqueness. So you will need some centralized script or application that all changes to this attribute go through for validation.

Hey, Can anyone tell me how I can force uniqueness on the EmployeeNumber attribute? I researched it for about 30 minutes but could not find an answer. I usually would take more time but I am in a hurry.
