[Samba] Extending the AD schema - Cannot see attributes in RSAT

[Vladimir]

Hi Jonathan, thanks for the help.

However, if you just want to work with an existing object, and adjust

Can you send me the steps that you used to create a custom  attribute?? I
have tried differents approaches, but none of them have worked.
I tried creating the attributes using the MMC schema editor, creating using
a ldif on samba 4 and finally using a script on windows. None
of them worked (the attributes and class were created, but they are not
visible on my users attributes). Of course I added the class that I created
as a subclass of "User" class.

I did once look into extending ADUC so as to show my custom attributes

I know that for having a TAB on ADUC you need to create a custom DLL, but
all I need is: make my attributes visible on
advanced atributes editor on ADUC. Just this.

As you have already done this, do you have any tip???

Thanks for your help.
Vladimir.
