Answer : Making Custom Schema Attribute Visible In DSA.MSC

Hi Neo,

What I'm saying is, is that getting your own property page to display in ADUC is pretty advanced stuff. I would not claim to have done this myself. You will need to be versed in either C++ or VB and COM programming.

If you want to look into it: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa814681(VS.85).aspx

Apart from that, the easy thing is to create a context menu as I stated earlier. Or if you have a Server 2008 / Vista or Win 7 box, the version of ADUC which runs on these includes and attribute editor tab which enabled you to view all attributes in a list (it's basically the same as the attribute editor in ADSIEDIT).

If you havent raised your domain functional level to 2008 you have to make a few changes to the configuration naming context to make the tab visible in ADUC.

Failing that, if you really want to put on your coding hat, then I would post this question in a programming zone to get experts in this field.
