This topic provides code examples for setting the properties that appear in the property pages for users, which is accessed through the Active Directory Users and Computers MMC snap-in. If you have not used this snap-in before, you can open it on the server by selecting Start>All Programs>Administrative Tools>Active Directory Users and Computers. In the Users folder, right-click on a user name and select Properties. If you are setting up an application that allows a user to change information such as a home address, this is a useful piece of code to add to your application.
