Adding Active Directory Attributes

Using the Configure tool, you can

•	View Active Directory attributes available for users, groups, and computers

•	Add attributes to the database and include them in your report templates

For example, if you extend your Active Directory schema for the user object to store the Social Security Number attribute, you can include this attribute in custom report templates by adding it using the Configure tool.

Reporter does not support the following Active Directory attribute types: ObjectSecurityDescriptor, OID, OctetString, DNWithBinary

To add Active Directory attributes

1.	Select Start | All Programs | Quest Software | Quest Management Suite | Reporter | Configure.

2.	Click the Extend Reporter Attributes tab.

3.	Click Add to select Active Directory attributes.

4.	Select an object type from the Type list.

5.	Select the check boxes for the attributes that you want to make available in the report templates.

6.

Click OK.

The newly added attributes are only available for custom report templates. You must add them only once to make them available for reporting.

The attributes cannot be removed after they are added.
