Attributes for Active Directory Users

In this section of the SelfADSI Scripting tutorial the attributes of an Active Directory Services user object will be described. There are quite a lot of attributes defined for AD users, all these can be read and manipulated over LDAP and therefore with ADSI also. Interesting links for this topic:

MSDN docu of the schema attributes for AD user objects MSDN general documentation of the AD Schema
Reading attributes (SelfADSI scripting tutorial whitepaper) Writing attributes (SelfADSI scripting tutorial whitepaper)
Searching directory objects for specific attribute values

When you start dealing with attributes, it can be a bit confusing that in the MSDN documentation there is always two kinds of AD user attribute names: the internal AD database label and the official LDAP label. Unfortunately, sometimes there is no intuitive reference to the meaning of the attribute - or both names are very different from each other.
