We recently upgraded our Active Directory from 2000 to 2003R2. Our schema was previously (in ver 2000) extended to include a handful of custom attributes. These attributes are still present in the 2003R2 schema, but we are unable to edit them using adsiedit if they contain a STRING value. Any custom attribute that is a Boolean value we can edit just fine.
If I try to edit one of the custom attributes, I get an "unspecified error". The attributes are active, according to SchemaMgr. No errors show up in my Event logs. I can edit regular/default attributes, like description, display name, etc, so it's only these 'custom STRING' attributes that are misbehaving. Also it doesn't matter what OU/container an object is in, and it's not a permissions issue as we are using the domain Administrator account to make these changes.
I can modify these attributes if I use LDP.exe, using the same credentials I use when trying adsiedit, and I can clear any value I've put in an attribute by clicking the <Clear> button in adsiedit.
I can only imagine that something didn't get done during the upgrade process (2000->2003) that should have in order to be able to modify these. Has anybody encountered this before? I've done some searching before coming here, and came up pretty much empty-handed.
Thanks in advance for any insight.
