See hidden attributes in ADUC

[Tim Kalligonis]

I need to add the employeeID and employeeType to the ADUC screens.

Here is what I have done:
I have enabled the employeeID and employeeType through the schema manager. I
am connected to the schema manager server.
I have checked the "Allow this attribute to be shown in advanced view."

It is not visible in ADUC when I view advanced

What else am I missing?

Can someone direct me to a Q article or let me know what I am not doing
correctly?

Thanks,
Tim

Extending ADUC to show these extra attributes is not an easy task. In fact,
I have yet to see an example on the mighty Internet that gives you a
step-by-step instruction on how it is done. The best I can do for you is
point you to this page on MSDN which explains the process but involves
programming skills that are way beyond me.

This isn't trivial, it isn't that you set an attribute and ADUC displays the info.

You need to start reading here (watch for URL wrap)

Hello Tim:

If you are using Exchange also, it will add 15 custom attributes to each
user object. If you have completed your migration to Exchange 200x from
Exchange 5.5, then you should be free to use any and all of the CAs. The CAs
are visible in ADUC and can contain any string of data. Considering the
comments from Simon and Joe, you might be better off just using the CAs. We
used them at my last company, which was a huge, multi-national company, so
it's common practice.

Regards,
Martin
