Amen to that - full disclosure on the content of schema extensions is a must.
BTW, Robbie, my copy of the Tuna book showed up from Amazon yesterday - Having read the chattter on the list, I preordered it awhile ago. After all the praise and anticipation on this list, it wasn't exactly what I expected....it was EVEN BETTER. This is exactly the kind of practical, logically organized info I wish I'd had 3+ years ago. Like your Cat book, it's a must-have. Well Done! For those of you that have not yet seen the book, much of it is organized in the format of Problem/Solution/Discussion/Reference. For each problem, it shows you how to solve it via the GUI, via the command line, AND via scripting. Very nice. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0596004648/ Dave -----Original Message----- From: Robbie Allen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 09, 2003 8:49 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] SMS Server 2003: AD schema extensions The MS SFU 3.0 team also refused to provide LDIF files for their schema extensions. Microsoft really needs to set the example here. Most people are worried enough about extending the schema and when you can't even get the LDIF files it only exacerbates the situation.
