Whoops...I should have clarified two items -
sorry.
1 - What suprised me was that these three new
"extras" don't even show up in the "available columns" dialog to select
them!
2 - I haven't tested a "Saved Query" view
yet. I figured that since this was default I would just pick any OU or
container with computer objects in it to start off with. I've tried a few
different ones with no luck seeing those columns as available options to
add.
Strange. Thanks for your
replies.

Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] ExtraColumns attributeOK, so the 1st trailing 0 says "don't show by default" ... which I assume is what you want on the default displaySpecifier. You may also find it useful to know that when these columns do appear, they have a habit of initially being 0 pixels wide so you have to go dragging columns widths around to find them (they default to the far right column I believe so start there). In addition, since you've used the trailing 0 mentioned above, all you've done is added these attributes to the list of those available in the Add/Remove columns dialog.

Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] ExtraColumns attributeHm...that's exactly what I was planning to do, and did do about 2 hours ago, but am a little suprised to find it hasn't worked (waited for repl). Here you can see my edits [ "joeware automatic update service" hasn't kicked in on my machine yet : - ) ]I'm not sure how many pixels these things need to be displayed, so I just picked a number...hopefully that's not holding this up? As an additional test I modified the value in blue, just to see if it would display differently,but that didn't take effect either. I must be missing something.[note - if reading in plain text, it's the first 4 values of extraColumns below which contain my edits]Thanks again...DC$ adfind -b "CN=default-Display,CN=409,CN=DisplaySpecifiers,CN=Configuration,DC=<rootdomain>,DC=com" extracolumnsAdFind V01.27.00cpp Joe Richards ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) November 2005Using server: dc.rootdomain.com:389

Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] ExtraColumns attributeTry editing the extraColumns attribute on the default-Display object, adding the property of your choosing as follows -<LDAP name>,<display name>,<default visibility>,<pixel width>,0 <----- IIRC, this is reserved and must be 0 for now.... highlighting the Saved Query in question and selecting View-->Add/Remove columns-->Add the desired attribute.Does this achieve your goal?--

Subject: [ActiveDir] ExtraColumns attributeHi all,I am interested in adding values to the 'extraColumns' attribute found on objects in the DisplaySpecifiers container. In particular, I'd like the option to display the value of OperatingSystem (etc...).The article about this attr in MSDN library describes it pretty well, but I'm wondering which DisplaySpecifier object to use in the case where you write a "Saved Query" (for others to import into their ADUC).At present I see that only the "default-Display" and "lostAndFound-Display" objects have that attr populated. Should I just modify the default, or should I be more specific and modify another object which only applies to "Saved Queries" - if so, anybody know which one? Maybe since my filter specifies only to computer objects, the "computer-Display" object applies?Sorry if this sounds silly!Thanks...DaveC
