The Operator attribute lists individuals or groups that are responsible for day-to-day maintenance of the computer. This can differ from the value of Owner, which can indicate more of an administrative responsibility with respect to the computer.
The Server attribute provides a list of servers that are hosted on this computer. The See Also attribute might be used, in this instance, to identify other related computers assigned to a network.
The L (Locality Name) attribute identifies the physical location of a device. For example, if the device were a printer, the locality might be “Building D, Section 24, by Ed Bender’s desk.”
The O (Organization Name) and OU (Organizational Unit Name) might already be present in the device’s distinguished name. They are repeated here to aid searching when an organization spans multiple subtrees in the eDirectory tree. However, eDirectory does not add these attributes automatically even though they may be present in the device’s Distinguished Name. Additional values for the organization or organizational unit can be useful when a device is “co-owned” by multiple organizations.
