| All:
Any help would be appreciated in this request.
I need to be able to publish more than one business phone number in AD
for queries from OCS. We have several folks that are members of more
than one dept and have more than one office. Consequently, they have
more than one business phone number, fax number, etc. If I remember
correctly, there are some attributes in AD that are for lack of a better
word, "empty." Or rather that can be modified to fit my need without
having to extend the schema with a custom attribute that requires
significant configuration and new OID.
I am constrained by the fact that there is a preexisting agreement in
our complex political environment that specifies that no custom
attributes will be made to the schema other than those that are done
with, say, Exchange, or upgrades of the OS DC, i.e. 2003 to 2008. These
are not really custom as they are part of the MS standard upgrade for
AD.
Is there such an attribute in AD that will allow me to define its
purpose and allowed data type that does not require me to go through the
procedure for creating and requesting a new OID and the related steps?
If so, what is the procedure for modifying it.
Thank for the help in advance.

| You can store multiple phone numbers in the 'otherTelephone'
attribute. You can access/modify the value through ADUC by looking at
the general tab on the user's properties then clicking the 'Other'
button next to Telephone number:' These values also appear on the
phone/notes tab in Outlook

| These phone attributes allow multiple values
G:\>adfind -sc sl:*phone* -af issinglevalued=FALSE
otherFacsimileTelephoneNumber
otherHomePhone
otherIpPhone
otherMobile
otherPager
otherTelephone
You also have the Exchange extension attributes available if you have
installed the exchange schema. However these are single values and you would
have to "pack" the additional numbers into a single string. You also want to
make sure you don't pick something that may be used by some Exchange app.
Most common attrib I think see used in environments is extensionAttribute10.
G:\>adfind -sc sl:*extensionattrib*
extensionAttribute1
extensionAttribute10
extensionAttribute11
extensionAttribute12
extensionAttribute13
extensionAttribute14
extensionAttribute15
extensionAttribute2
extensionAttribute3
extensionAttribute4
extensionAttribute5
extensionAttribute6
extensionAttribute7
extensionAttribute8
extensionAttribute9

| Thanks Joe and everyone else who contributed,
We are looking into how to programmatically, through Sun IDM, populate
these attributes for use with MS OCS. Through all of your assistance I
have been able to come up with a way to map fields in OCS to the IPPhone
and OtherIPPhone attributes. I may have further questions later but for
now thank you for all of the help.
