RE: [ActiveDir] Change default User-Account-Control behavior
Well, the tabs and even the user account creation dialog in AD can be extended, it's just not an easy task to do for the normal administrator. Some dev-work with c-programming would be involved. I'm not aware of mechanisms to extend the UI or dialogs for local accounts. /Guido -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Steve Schofield Sent: Thursday, November 02, 2006 7:29 AM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: Re: [ActiveDir] Change default User-Account-Control behavior Thanks Joe for the verification.

RE: [ActiveDir] Change default User-Account-Control behavior
This article, http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/ad/ad/exten ding_the_user_interface_for_directory_objects.asp, describes display specifiers, which is what Guido is referring to here. It is possible to add, for example, a context menu item to an object class in ADUC that calls a script. So you could, for example, extend the OU container with a New Custom User menu item that calls your custom user creation script. That's pretty straightforward and doesn't require any programming outside of writing the script and tweaking some display specifier objects in AD.

RE: [ActiveDir] Change default User-Account-Control behavior
So my answer stands Nope. Scripts, batch files, and custom tools for you. :) ;o) Feeling spicey today... On the serious side, note also that these options are very tool specific, you aren't in any way shape or form changing defaults, you are changing specific actions of a given tool. First person that goes off and does something with say ADSIEDIT or LDP or anything else and your defaults are gone. joe -- O'Reilly Active Directory Third Edition - http://www.joeware.net/win/ad3e.htm -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Darren Mar-Elia Sent: Thursday, November 02, 2006 9:58 AM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Change default User-Account-Control behavior This article, http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/ad/ad/exten ding_the_user_interface_for_directory_objects.asp, describes display specifiers, which is what Guido is referring to here.
