Can someone post good instructions for adding an attribute to the user class,
that is more than sending us this link

http://www.microsoft.com/resources/.../standard/proddocs/en-us/sag_adschema_add.asp

This link says nothing of how to drive certain properties like AttributeID's
and such.

Lets use studentID ad a sample, I seen that is another persons post, that is
still sitting unanswered. So we want to be able to right click on a user in
ADSI edit under Domain NC and then look under Optional Attributes and See our
custom attribute StudentID and be able to set a value.
 
That link gives only half of what you need. You need to do two things:

1) Create the new attribute (sounds like you have a handle on this part)
2) Attach the attribute with the class you are trying to modify:

a) Find the class (i.e. 'user') in the schema management console.
b) View its properties
c) Click the Attributes tab
d) Click the Add button and seelct the attribute you want to attach (i.e.
studentID)

Hope this helps

What are you using to find the class and click the Attribute Tab.? I am in
ADSI Edit and when I right click on a class I have two tabs, attributes which
has only two buttons, set and clear, and drop downs above it for selecting
mandatory or optional attribtues, and a security tab.

And thanks for the prompt reply, I think you got me on the right track.
