Oidgen.exe: OID GeneratorNEW

OID Generator generates a pair of unique base object identifier values for use in extending the Active Directory schema. One object identifier is for use in defining new Attibutes, the other for defining new Classes.

To Use OID Generator

  1. Type oidgen on the command-line. OID Generator requires no parameters.
  2. Cut and paste the new object identifier values from the command window to your document or source code.

Note

Before you run OID Generator, setting the following cmd.exe window properties will make it much easier to copy the generated object identifiers into a document or source code. In the Layout tab, set the Window Size width to at least 100. In the Options tab, click the QuickEdit Mode check box to enable copy and paste.

Use the generated object identifier pair as the root of your object identifier space and assign new object identifiers in that space by adding a element to the end of each object identifier and incrementing it for each new class or attribute desired. For example, if the generated Class Root is:

1.2.840.113556.1.5.7000.111.2014652.180672.30.178511.21396.1226462.1996501
your first new class should be:
1.2.840.113556.1.5.7000.111.2014652.180672.30.178511.21396.1226462.1996501.1
