How to add "Operating System" and "Operating System Service Packs" to the ADUC view columns
In ADUC when selecting View Add/Remove columns I want to be able to have the operatingSystem and operatingSystemServicePack added as an additional column. I went through ADSIEDIT and configure the Display Specifier/409/defaultdispl ay/extraco lumns but still it would not work. Not sure what I am doing wrong.
I going to ask a silly question.. Are you a Domain Admin and/or do you have rights to modify the structure in AD?
ASKER
Yes I am the Domain Admin and Schema Admin which is what's needed to modify.

I made the changes on the DC. It took the changes but when I close and reopen ADUC there's no option for the feature I just added.
Suggestion.. Maybe it took.. Have a colleague login and check.. Go to another workstation and check? Something maybe a bit amiss with caching in your profile? It just does not seem right, you made the changes, it took and you are not seeing the changes.. I would start with asking a colleague or logging in under a different server after sufficient time has been allowed for replication.

Doesn't matter the workstation. The settings was added on the DC but its not viewable on the DC itself. So there must be something that's been missed.

ThinkPaper i've been using the link you already posted yesterday as a reference. The only problem is the "CN=default-Display" will only show the "extraColumn" and the other attributes will not show the "extraColumn" for me to add the "operatingSystem".
ASKER
Seems if you change the "CN=organizationunitDispla y" it will delete the default selection and only list the OperatingSystem and SP.
Before you guys laugh.. Hang with me for a moment.. If you download KiXtart - http://kixtart.org there is a Microsoft Word Document that Ruud (he is a Microsoft Employee) that lists all of the up-to-date OS, CSD (Sevice Pack), Terminal Services, etc. In there...
Page 121 has @PRODUCTTYPE and has listed the versions of Vista, etc.
Right before that he lists architecture.
There is other good reference material as well. You don't have to run KiXtart, but the material is helpful.
