Find out if Active Directory 2003 schema has custom attributes

I am not a programmer but this link may help you:

http://ad911.weebly.com/3/post/2011/11/find-custom-attributes-for-all-users-in-active-directory.html

If the link breaks, this is the contents:

Pre-Requisites:
1) Excel should be installed on the machine where this script would be executed
2) All the users in active directory should be dumped to " C:\scripts\Ad stale cleanup project\month1day1\StaleUsers.txt " or modify the source / destination path.

Experts,
Any other ideas?

I am trying to run your script on Windows 7 machine against Windows 2003 R2 forest. This is the error I get:

I think we should be able to do it if we look for schema objects which are not part of the base.

This is still going to need some exploration because other systems which add attributes, such as Exchange, may not set this flag (unable to verify at this time). In addition, you may find this flag is not reliably set which will completely scupper this plan.

The following code is in PowerShell, your Windows 7 box will have that by default.

$RootDSE = [ADSI]"LDAP://RootDSE"
$Schema = [ADSI]"LDAP://$($RootDSE.schemaNamingContext)"

$Searcher = [ADSISearcher]"(!(systemFlags:1.2.840.113556.1.4.803:=16))"
$Searcher.PageSize = 1000
$Searcher.SearchRoot = $Schema

$Searcher.FindAll() | ForEach-Object { $_.Properties['name'][0] }}

Select allOpen in new window

If that returns nothing, or everything, another method will have to be attempted.

I found the solution myself, posted the solution link
