Active Directory - Make employeeID field viewable in ADUC

Has anyone gone through the process of making the pre-defined (employeeID) field viewable in ADUC? I've been looking around for decent documentation on this but haven't had any luck. I'd definitely appreciate some input from any directory services experts.

I know how I can extend the schema to right click a user object and see specific fields, but I'd like the field to be visible from the actual user properties.

Any ideas?

Yeah, I've seen the MSDN information ... I was hoping someone had already built a C++ page extensions and wouldn't mind sharing their code.

I do appreciate you sending me the link though!

Thanks,

I'm going to go ahead and give you the points, because technically you did answer the question. I was hoping someone knew of an easier way or had actually written the page extension.

Thanks,

I don't have any such tool, but it would be REALLY easy to write a little script to populate the Employee ID feild. Here is a pretty simple sample:

Dim ADS_Path, new_employeeID
'set values here
ADS_Path = "LDAP://....." 'insert ADS Path to user object here
new_employeeID = 1234 'insert employee ID here (can be number or string)

Set oUser = GetObject(ADS_Path)
oUser.employeeID = new_employeeID
oUser.setinfo
