User Object User Interface Mapping

The following tables identify the property pages supplied by the Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in. Each table identifies the user interface elements of the property page and the attribute associated with that user interface element. Because the property pages that are displayed by the Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in can be extended, it is not possible to provide this data for all of the pages displayed in a property sheet.
