To extend the MMC UI for AD, you need to create display specifiers. They
are discussed in the ADSI SDK. Go to www.microsoft.com/adsi and download the latest SDK.

A long time ago, I remember there was a way to modify the display that shows user entry properties when you run Active Directory Users and Computers. Basically, when I show the properties of the users, I want to be able to show an additional attribute - employeeid - where only a couple of people would actually be able to see/modify that value that is located in that attribute. Most administrators and others would not be able to see the value.

I would prefer not to do this with vbscript or some other piece of code.

Does any have a pointer for me on how to do this?

Thanks in advance.
