All,

I would like to be able to view about 15 extended attribute for a user
object in AD using Active Directory Users and Computers (ADUC). Basically,
when I look at the properties of a user in ADUC, I want to be able to see a
tab called "SomeName" and in it, I want to see the values for my extended
attributes. Can this be done? If so, how?

You can either (harder) create an extension Property Page that loads
with the ADUC, or (easier) add a context menu so that when the user is
right-clicked on, you can select the additional menu item and launch a
seconday app.

There are examples of both in MSDN.

Douglas,

Thank you for your reply! I did see the example of adding a context menu
(Windows 2000 article) on MSDN. However, I did not see an example for
creating the extension for the Property Page. Any ideas where that might
be?
