AD also has a set of extensionattributeN (were N is 1-15)
as part of MS Exchange schema extensions. We uses some
of these for additional attributes about a user in Shibboleth.
Ask you AD admin if they have added an attributes you
could use to tell id a user is a student.
(Can one of you users be a student and a staff member at the same time?)
