Error: input box hidden; i use this code
dim oVar, oUsr, tmp, title, text1
set oVar = wscript.arguments
set oUsr = getobject(oVar(0))
title = “Enter Employee ID”
text1 = “Current Employee ID #: ” & oUsr.employeeID & vbcrlf & vbcrlf & “Enter new or change existing ID in the box below”
tmp = inputbox(text1,title)
if tmp “” then oUsr.put “employeeID”,tmp
oUsr.setinfo
set oUsr = Nothing
wscript.quit
very good articles and very verbose.

I’ve developed a custom property pages that let System Administrator have a quick access to thumbnail Photo, employee ID and employee Number for a user object.
It’s an extension of Active Directory Users and Computers MMC snap-in.
