Hello,
We are currently migrating from eDirectory to Active Directory 2008 RC2. We typically place notes about user accounts in the description field, but we found that in AD the description field cannot be set to confidential. This means our various notes will be exposed to end users, which in some cases is not desirable. So in order to avoid this, we were looking at attributes that CAN be set to confidential via the confidentiality bit and found that drink is one of those attributes. So our plan was to migrate all of the description attributes to drink and lock up drink.
The only problem is, I have no idea how to access the attribute as it doesn't appear for my users when I browse the directory. After repeated searches, I found that the attribute could belong to top and attributeSchema object classes. Adding those objectClasses didn't add the drink attribute, however.
I checked in the Schema via the MMC (and ADSI edit) to see if drink was there, and it is there and the checkbox stating whether it's active or not was checked.
Anyone have any ideas?
