I need to add some attributes to the user class.

What are the pros and cons of using an auxiliary class versus adding the attributes directly to user?

Thanks,

Hi,

Thanks for your posting.

An auxiliary class, which can be included in the definition of a structural, abstract, or auxiliary class, in which case, the mustContain, systemMustContain, mayContain, and systemMayContain values of the auxiliary class are added to those of the class.  An auxiliary class can be a subclass of an abstract or auxiliary class. Auxiliary classes cannot be instantiated in Active Directory Domain Services. An auxiliary class can include any number of auxiliary classes in its definition.

Hi,

Thanks, but neither your answer nor the link you provided answer my question.

What I was asking is if it is better to define an auxiliary class when adding attributes to an existing class, or if I should add the attributes directly to the class itself.

Best regards,
Paolo
