Hi,

When I try to set a group scope to public, I get the following error:

Error: Could not find Active Directory attribute extensionAttribute13.
Is there some A/D configuration that needs to happen after install.

Thanks

Kevin

WebDir stores the group security types in the AD extensionattribute13.  Is extensionAttribute13 available?  Do you have Exchange installed?

We do not have Exchange installed on this box.  We are planning on using WebDir to manage a separate domain.  What A/D object should have the extensionattribute13?

 Thanks

If Exchange is not installed then extensionAtribute13 is not in the schema.  Of course, without Exchange I don't know how valuable a public group is to begin with (unless you are syncing the object to another forest that does have Exchange).  You have a few options:

1. Add extensionAttribute13 to the schema (yuck).

2. Extend the schema using the Exchange schema extensions (better).

3. Change the attribute WebDir uses to store this information (use the Settings tab in System Manager).  The problem with this one is that there are not a whole lot of attributes available in AD out of the box.

 4. Hybrid: add an attribute the schema called WebDirSecurity and set WEbDir to use this attribute instead of extensionAttribute13.

Number 2 is the easiest, you just do a forest prep but this may not be viable for you. 

Not really what I wanted to hear, but at least I have a course of action.

Thanks for the help.   

You can also disable this functionality by removing the Security Level from the tab.
