I just create a new attribute call mailgoogle and was able to ad it to users via Active directory schema. Proble is that i do not see this attribute on distribution group. This attribute was create to ad a 2nd e-mail address and i also want to be able to do so with my distribution group

There are many many attributes that you do not see in ADUC. To be able to surface the attributes in the GUI, it needs to be modified which requires some programming ability: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa814672(VS.85).aspx

But you can at least look at all the attributes through ADUC by:
- Click on the view menu and select Advanced
- Go to the properties of the group and click on the Attribute Editor tab

From this tab you can view and edit all the properties of the object though it's not user friendly.

When i go to the Attribute Editor tab of the object (Group), i do not see the mailgoogle attribute. What is the classes object name for users group? Is it group? if yes the attribute is there

You may need to set permissions on the attribute in ADSI edit to allow it to be shown.
