Manage Email Signatures Centrally - For All Users

Hello!

Is it possible to obtain info from a field that is not viewable from the ADUC?
IE. If I script information into AD fields that you normally cant view from ADUC, is it possible to just specify the name of the fields like this: ((FieldName)) to get info from it?

I have tried it but it doesnt work so I assume it is impossible.
But perhaps there is another way?

Best Regards
Mattias Hansson

Hi Mattias,

No this is not possible. If you have your own schema extention of AD you cannot read those fields. Is that the case?

Otherwise it is correct that all fields are embraced by (('s and it would be logical to try, but it is not supported.

Thanks,
Bjarne

yes, we have our own extension of the schema with information I would like to add to the signature.

We use the "normal" fields in AD for abrevations but want to use the full description for the signature but they are located in a field I cannot access so we are quite at a dead end now.

The only solution I see is setting up a SQL-database and run it from there... even though all info exists in the AD.

Can you please give me an example of a field name?

Why don't you use custom attribs for this information? This can be accessed.

It is not under my control to handle where and what is stored in AD. This is a quite huge organization and Im not in charge of that.

If I recall correctly the field is called "VVAvdelning".

Can you access this field under normal circumstances in LDAP requests? We might be able to do a small trick..
