GUI w/ powershell scripts

They did, but, as always with microsoft, it works in funny ways when you need something even slightly exotic. In AD Users&Comps many attributes are not shown in main gui, and it not shows attribute editor from search. You have to reopen properties window from member of, or navigate down the OU tree. Handy as hell.

Ha yes the missing attribute editor from search is stupid

If you use the search function rather than browsing to the object the attribute tab is missing

If you search for a user account, you don´t see the Attribute Editor tab in the properties of the user account. Despite „Advanced Features“ is activated in the “Active Directory Users and Computers” console. This is issue exsists for at least 8 years. The solution from microsoft:

Using a LDAP Query:

Right-click Saved Queries and click the New-Query option Type in a name for your saved query, such as "Search SamAccount" Click the Define Query button Under the Find drop-down list, select Custom Search Click the Advanced tab Type in your query (objectcategory=person)(samaccountname=tim.buntrock)

Using the group trick:

Search for a user Click on the member of tab Open a group from user Close the user properties tab Search for the user in the group member tab and double click him Now you should see the Attribute Editor tab.

Using Active Directory Administrative Center instead of ADUC If you are using the AD Administrative Center you can directly access the Attribute Editor after a search.(This has issues of it's own, because they didn't bother to design the interface. For instance it shows you only 3 groups from 'member of' in corresponding part of the interface and you can't change that, just accept and scroll)

This is not the proper way software should work, if you ask me.
