There are additional fields in the activedirectory
properties of a user which can be queried but not
displayed on the properties page of the user.

Fields like division and and other organizational
information.

Does anyone know how to access/display and edit this
information so that entries can be made into these
additional fields.

TIA

Additional attributes can be added to the property sheets of any objects
using a technology known as Display Specifiers. Display Specifiers
allow you to easily add context menus (right clicking on an object) or
change the icon of a particular class or modify the default columns
displayed for a class, however, adding additional property sheets
requires you to develop a custom extension (a DLL) which is then plugged
in to AD U&C (or any other Microsoft written AD admin. tool).

Sorry, probably not the answer you were hoping for.
