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.

I was hoping I can flick a switch to enforce uniqueness. Kinda like samaccount name or DN.

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.

Thanks
