Map Extra Attributes to ADDS LDAP Interface?

Question

I have setup LDAPS by basically following these steps:

https://video2.skills-academy.com/en-us/azure/active-directory-domain-services/tutorial-configure-ldaps

Plus, I have created a service account that allows me to extract user information. However, I haven't figured out how to add further attributes. In particular, I would like to add userPrincipalName and employeeId.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

@BrettSh You can use LDP.exe on the computer where you have installed AD DS Tools.

Run Nltest /dsgetdc: command and copy the DC name from the output.
Run LDP.exe and click on Connection > Connect > Paste the DCName, use Port 636 and select SSL checkbox.
Click on bind under connection menu and login using your service account.
Click on Browse menu > Search and specify the parameters as highlighted below. In the output you will get UPN and Employee ID.

OR

Download ADFind.exe from http://www.joeware.net/freetools/tools/adfind/ and run below command:

AdFind.exe -h DC_Name:636 -b cn=users,dc=your_domain,dc=your_domain_suffix -f "objectcategory=person" userprincipalname name employeeID

Note: Instead of cn=users you can specify OU=your_OU_name to search within specific OU or just specify domain's DN to perform domain wide search.
