Need to update AD with PAyroll and Date of Birth.

I require the ability to update two custom attributes in AD, i would like to if possibile get the user to enter this information at logon and then this updates there AD user account.

Does anyone have an idea on how i could do this. I have used scriptomatic but my VB skills are poor

You will need to go to
Start>Admisitrator Tools>Active Directory Users & Computers and modify the information for each account as needed.

Or from a command prompt type dsa.msc

Note you will need to have the admin tools installed. If it on the Server 2003 CD.

I would stay away from using vbscript to do this.

i was really looking at scripting the procedure, i know how to do it manually. did i forget to change the level of user button again.

On my system users have the permission to "write personal information" - I assume this is default. I would think you could use something to the effect of:

Set objMyUser = GetObject("LDAP://CN=John Doe,DC=domain,DC=com", "user")
objMyUser.Set "telephoneNumber", "123-45607890"
objMyUser.SetInfo

See http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scriptcenter/topics/security/propset.mspx for more accurate info.

Sorry when i said scripting the procedure i meant as part of the user logon, not me creating a script and running it. the information the users have to input are payrolll and date of birth. i dont have that information so i want the users to be able to do this at logon?

does that help explain it? or am i not getting it :)

Put an "Exit For" statement right after the "obj.SetInfo" line, no need to continue looping through the list of users after you've already found the one you want.
