Extended Attributes

Alex.Plaza
over 4 years ago

The client I’m working with has extended the AD schema to include some client specific attributes.

 

In ER we have extended the schema ER gathers. I can see two of the attributes I need to report on. When I edit a report such as All Names for Active Directory users (in my reports) I cannot see the attributes to add to the report.

 

The two attributes I need are:

iqAccountType ( client custom attribute)

ReplicationSensetivity (Defaul AD attribute)

 

How can I get these attributes in my report

    Hi Alex,

    After collecting the attributes with your discovery they should now be in the database. One of the things you need to do is close Report Manager and restart it. You can then modify the report and the attributes should be available. If you have already done this I will need to investigate and get back to you. Also can you confirm that you are using ER 3.2.1.

    Hi Alex,

    Can you also confirm that these are ARS (Active Roles) attributes you have collected and if so what version of ARS you are using.

    I have closed both reporter and configuration manager. As you can see, i have the ER schema extended to collect replicationSensetivity attribute, but it's not available in the attributes to add to the report. There is a similar attribute but an ARS one. The one we want is a default AD attribute.

    They are not ARS attributes but ARS is in the picture. I'll find out the version.

    Hi Alex,

    Thanks for the additional info. I was looking at a lab for the attribute and couldn't find it and this is why I went to ARS. The lab I was looking at did not have Exchange installed so the attribute was not extended. From you screen shot I see that the attribute is an exchange attribute. I went to my personal lab which has Exchange installed and found the attribute.

    I also notice that in your screen shot you are looking ReplicationSensetivity in the report fields. You are not finding it as the Available Fields by that name as it is displayed as ms-Exch-Replication-Sensitivity. Select this value and add it to the Selected Fields. You can then edit the Layout and add the new field(s).

    Also I have noted that you are using ER build 3.0.0.2722 while the released version of ER 3.0 is build 3.0.0.2748. It is advisable to upgrade your lab or the lab where ER 3.0 is install to the release build as final fixes, correction, etc. have been made in the release build and any issues you are seeing may have been fixed. In addition you may not receive any support as you don't have a proper version. If you want to stay on ER 3.0 I would recommend you upgrade to hotfix 1 or 2. I would encourage you to upgrade to ER 3.2.1 for the very latest in options, performance, and fixes. It would be good if you have a customer who is still on ER 3.0 to at lease have the hotfixes if they don't want to have a newer version which would fix any issues they may have and of course provide them with more capability.

    I will look at updating ER today.

    Thank you for the update on the ER name of the attribute. I was able to edit the report and include the ms-Exch-Replication-Sensitivity attribute. This is the one i was looking for. they are just named differently between ER and AD.

    Thank You!

    We upgraded ER to the latest version. I'm still having issues with adding extended attributes to reports. As mentioned, the client has extended the schema to include several attributes. I have extended the ER schema to collect these attributes but they are not available in any report i edit. How can i include them.

    I can send screenshots of the ER attributes if needed.
