    Hi Guys,

    I am wondering if anyone can help me. I know you can make custom AD attributes like Strings & integers etc. Im looking to make a custom attribute which would basically hold an array of data. I come from a programming background not sure what data type (if any) this could be done with. Does anyone know if it is even possible for AD to hold an array (much like the groups i guess)

    All pointers are much appreciated

    I don't think you're going to be able to get it to hold an array. You could try reading about schema modifications - it's possible that adding a new class with multiple attributes might achieve what you're trying to do.

    If that's no good to you, can you give an example of what you'd expect the array to contain? Is there a reason you can't just create use several custom attributes to hold the relevant information?
