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. |

| ipPhone | Used by Telephony. |
| l | The locality, such as the town or city, in the user's address. |
| 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. |
| manager | The user who is the user's manager. The manager's user object contains a directReports attribute that contains references to all user objects that have their manager attribute set to the manager's user object. |
