Is it possible to create an additional attribute in Active Directory from VBScript, or do I inevitably have to first create it in the AD Schema?

When I try to set a new attribute, let's say "newattr123" with the .setInfo() and .put() methods, I get an error stating that this attribute is not yet defined in the AD.

Thank you for your help,

Judging by these search results, creating a new custom attribute doesn't seem to be possible via VBScript. At least not that I can see a solution to scripting the steps explained:

For anything else AD related, SelfADSI is a good source of information.

Thank you @Hel O'Ween ! In fact, your search results gie the same light as mine. Reading and manipulating AD Attributes values is possible via VBScript, but their definition in the AD Schema is not. I will dig the provided links to create the additional attributes I need, and I thank you VERY MUCH for SelfADSI : I did not knew this useful resource indeed!
