  Save data into extensionAttribute in Acitve Directory

  Jun 25, 2010 10:38 AM|LINK

  Hi.

  I try to save user data in AD in extensionAttribute4 but I got and error: The attribute syntax specified to the directory service is invalid

  There is no problem when I save data into properties like: "SN" or "Mobile"

  I use code below:
  

  public void SaveUserNotes(SearchResult user, string aboutMe)
          {
              DirectoryEntry de = new DirectoryEntry(ADpath, ADUserName, ADUserPassword);
              DirectorySearcher search = new DirectorySearcher(de);
  
  
              DirectoryEntry dataToUpdate = user.GetDirectoryEntry();
  
  
              dataToUpdate.Properties["extensionAttribute4"].Value = aboutMe;
              dataToUpdate.CommitChanges();
              dataToUpdate.Close();
          }

  
  Can anyone tell me how to save data into extensionAttibute in AD ?

  Check if it's a text attribute and what size it has.

  I am facing the same issue, only the extensionAttribute's are not updating! 

  How did you solve it?

  <div style="position: absolute; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow: hidden; top: 0px; left: -10000px;" id="_mcePaste" class="mcePaste"></div>
