If you have the Exchange schema extensions, there are attributes that are already available - extensionattribute1..15. We are using some of them for similar purposes. There are a few others that available in the native schema that probably aren't too commonly used...but make sure they have the correct data "type" for what you want to store drink photo thumbnailphoto -----Original Message----- From: ActiveDir-owner@mail.activedir.org [mailto:ActiveDir-owner@mail.activedir.org] On Behalf Of Britt, Brian Sent: Thursday, October 09, 2008 11:37 AM To: activedir@mail.activedir.org Subject: [ActiveDir] Custom or already exiting attributes in AD that can be modified 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. Brian Britt Vanderbilt University.
