We have recently got uniFlow print management installed and to get the costings right as a user might be in same department who is billed but also in sub department who is charged differently. We had to use both department field and one of the custom attribute fields {extensionAttribute1}, though a list could be useful for my records and others to know.
Inputting the Department is as simple as selecting the user(s) and going to properties, this is the same for many fields: Display Name, Address, Phone Number… are more hidden and the edit fields you will have to enter Advanced Features mode in Active Directory Users and Computers.
It is worth knowing adding the Advanced Features to your view gives you not only more access to edit users but also to break a user so please be careful when editing a users attribute manually.
Open your MMC and add Active Directory Users and Computers, then at the top click View, then click Advanced Features. It will refresh the console. Once done, now when you open a users properties you will be given several other tabs. The one for editing users attributes is labeled Attribute Editor and this is where all the users details such as home drive, email display name… is actually stored.
Simply find the attribute you wish to edit and input the new value.
