I do not have a 2k8 DC - I have my own Vista workstation, which gives me access to the pref's. They propagate to the 2k3 DC's and workstations just fine.

However, for our helpdesk staff, using ADSI Editor to change the attributes of the group (if necessary) is a little daunting. Is there any way that you can create some sort of extension to ADUC to modify a custom attribute? Or does anyone have any other way of modifying this without using ADSI Editor? i was sure I read an article once relating to it, but my Googling appears to be weak today (must be the heat in here) TIA, JRR "On two occasions...I have been asked, 'Pray, Mr Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?'
