Extending the schema should be done carefully and with consideration, but it
is not really that hard to do. As previously suggested, practice on a test
domain. ADAM instances are great for this too.
Extending the UI of AD U&C is a pretty big deal as it requires some
development (C++).
Creating a web UI or something similar to support your new attributes is not
as big of a deal and is done all the time.
