User Address Book Attributes

The address book attributes are used to provide supplementary identification and information for a user. Their content is defined by the user and the user's organization. These attributes can be viewed and managed by the Active Directory User and Computers snap-in or the Windows Address Book (WAB).

Attribute	Description
c	The country/region in the user's address. The country/region is represented as the two-character country/region code based on ISO-3166. For the valid codes, see Values for countryCode.
co	The country/region in which the user is located.
notes	A comment. This string can be a null string.
department	The name for the department in which the user works.
description	The description to display for the user.
displayName	The name displayed in the address book for a particular user. This is usually the combination of the user's first name, middle initial, and last name.
directReports	The list of users that directly report to the user. The users listed as reports are those that have the manager attribute set to this user. Each item in the list is a linked reference to the object that represents the user; therefore, the Active Directory server automatically updates this attribute when a user's manager attribute adds or removes this user as a manager. The items are represented as distinguished names.
facsimileTelephoneNumber	The telephone number of the user's business fax machine.
givenName	The given name (first name) of the user.

managedObjects	The list of objects that are managed by the user. The objects listed are those that have the managedBy attribute set to this user. Each item in the list is a linked reference to the managed object; therefore, the Active Directory server automatically updates the managedObjects attribute when an object's managedBy attribute adds or removes this user as its manager. The items are represented as distinguished names.
