Just can't find the "assistant" text box in AD user management...
Main Topics
Browse All TopicsHey there,
I am trying to add an entry for a user's "assistant" in Active directory so that it will show up in that user's GAL entry.
- Active Directory (Windows Server 2003 / Exchange 2003)
- User profile management
- Assistant entry
I am having the same problem adding a "business phone 2" entry.
Thanks.

there are a couple of fields that, although in AD, don't show up in the GUI anywhere in a fashion where they can be modified. And, i believe you've found them.
There are a few ways to modify them though, you'd have to modify them directly in adsiedit, purchase a 3rd party utility that will give you access to them, or possibly write some little script to prompt you for the required changes.
