** *Note - The user creation process does not allow UNIX attributes to be edited unless you are in the Domain Admins security group.  If this is the case you MUST use the command line script on the admin stations in IAD03 OR open a ticket with Operations Engineering.  Otherwise, if the account will be a service account or if no UID is required, then you are done.  If this is for a dedicated domain, please use the MMC as mentioned above in creating a new user.
