Creating new classes

I'm pretty new to all of this so I hope this isn't too basic. At any rate, I created a series of new attributes and added them to a new class using the Active Directory MMC Snap-in. Now I want to add objects of this class in AD but I have no idea how to do it. Right clicking on the OU and selecting New only brings up a list of about 10 classes (Computer, User, InetOrgPerson, etc) but my new class is not listed. In fact, most of the pre-defined classes are missing as well. It looks like I might have to import the new class into AD with LDIFDE but I don't have the slightest idea how to do this. Any help is greatly appreciated

You need to create display specifiers for the additional context menus for
the new classes and attributes.
