Adding attributes to ADUC user properties

Question

Hi,
I want an extra field to appear in the user properties box for ADUC.  I know I have to do this in ADSI edit, but after trawling through a few articles I am still non the wiser what needs adding where and how :-S
I would like to add an extra field in the users Address tab that would indicate which floor they work on.  Below is an example of where I would like this field adding.
Any advice on how this can be added would be gratefully received!

I don't want to bee offending, but if you don't understand how, don't touch it.
Consider adding the info in one of the existing fields/attributes. you could for example include the floor number in the address field.
You can see all attributes and their values by choosing view - advanced features in ADUC. This will add a tab attribute editor. (not it does not work when you searched for an account). There are even 'ExtensionAttributes' which allow you to store additional
info without changing he schema.
If you wan to add  a real custom property, you need to extend the AD schema. doing this is not something you can do and undo at will, so trial and error is out of the question! http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc759633(v=ws.10).aspx
Aside from the challenge of selecting an appropriate attribute, you also need some configuration to make ADUC display it. the way you want it (a nice textfield on an exsiting tab) will involve some coding effort
