I cannot see “Unix attribute” tab even after installing IdMU

 

I cannot see “Unix attribute” tab even after installing IdMU.

 

It may happen that you cannot see Unix attribute tab in the users or groups properties even after installing IdMU. This may happen because of either of the two reasons:

1) nisprop.dll is not registered.

2) adminPropertyPages attribute is not properly populated.

First try to unregister and re-register nisprop.dll:

      1)  cd C:\Windows\idmu\common

2) net stop “server for nis”

3) regsvr32.exe /u nisprop.dll

4) regsvr32.exe nisprop.dll

5) net start “server for nis”

 

If you still cannot see unix attribute tab in the users or groups properties then perform the following steps:

 

1. Run ADSIedit.msc
2. Under Configuration node, you will find DisplaySpecifier.
3. Under this, there will be many Nodes with different numbers. Pick the one representing your Language ID. e.g US/English - 409.
4. Inside this node (409-US/English), you can find 3 objects of our interest:

CN=computer-Display, CN=group-Display and Cn=user-Display
5. For each of these three objects check if adminPropertyPages attribute has the entries of our CLSID
For CN=user-Display:
2,{4c796c30-f96b-11d2-ac78-0008c7726cf7}

For CN=group-Display:
5,{9a899a50-f96b-11d2-ac78-0008c7726cf7}

CN=computer-Display:
11,{c7499700-f96b-11d2-ac78-0008c7726cf7}

 

 adminPropertypages

 

If the above values are not there then add it and restart Server for NIS service.

 

You should be able to see unix attribute tab now.
