Extending The Active Directory Schema

The schema extensions for RAC and Server Administrator are available. Extend the schema for software or hardware that you are using. Apply each extension individually to receive the benefit of its software-specific settings. Extending the Active Directory schema adds schema classes and attributes, example privileges and association objects, and a organizational unit to the schema.

  • NOTE: Before you extend the schema, you must have Schema Admin privileges on the Schema Master Flexible Single Master Operation (FSMO) Role Owner of the domain forest.

Extend the schema using two different methods. Use the Schema Extender utility, or use the Lightweight Directory Interchange Format (LDIF) script file.

  • NOTE: The organizational unit is not added if you use the LDIF script file.
The LDIF script files and the Schema Extender utility are located in the following directories on the Systems Management Tools and Documentation DVD:
  • <DVD drive>drive>:\SYSMGMT\ManagementStation\support\OMActiveDirect ory_Tools\<installation type>\LDIF Files
