Determine Correct ADS Common Attribute Values

Attributes managed by extending the ADS schema do not have error-checking enforced. We recommend that you enable an account for OCS2007 using native tools so that you can determine the correct common ADS values (such as PrimaryHomeServer). Determining the correct common values minimizes the risk of entering incorrect values, particularly for long strings such as DNs.

To determine ADS correct attribute values

  1. Create or modify a native template user using either Office Communications Server 2007 (R2) snap-in for MMC, or ADUC (Active Directory Users and Computers).
  2. View the user using the Provisioning Manager with the extended schema enabled.

    Note: If you created a new user, it may be necessary to explore the endpoint or container.

  3. Copy or note the values for the extended attributes.
  4. Add the attribute values to the appropriate Active Directory User Template or Account. 
  5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 for any alternate settings required for templates, such as different activation levels.
