Can I add extra details to Computer object in AD? 1

[bTkalternate]

Hi,

Is there a way I can add extra details to the a computer object in AD?
All I can do at the moment is enter a description.
Does ADSIEdit have a parameter that makes other fields available?
I've heard of an ASDIEdit change to enable photo's to be used against user accounts. So something similar to that maybe.

Or could someone point me to a resource that may have this kind of info?

Regards,
b

found this out there...

but be very careful in extending the schema. If you do not know what you are doing, it will cause major issues with your AD.

Thanks, I'll take a look.
And as always when doing stuff like this I'll be testing first.

Ah, seems you have to purchase it.
Thanks though. I'll keep looking.
Any more help is appreciated.

You don't have to purchase anything to extend the schema. Just make yourself a member of Schema Admins. Then open the Schema Snapin.

You can then add a custom attribute.

[red]Please note that once you extend the schema you CANNOT role it back. The change is permanent, so be careful.[/red]

I hope you find this post helpful.
