Hi Jorge, One "well-known" operational attribute is schemaUpdateNow, which triggers a schema cache update, when you write 1 to it.
A more complete list can be digged out from ntdsa.dll: doOnlineDefrag removeLingeringObject SchemaUpgradeInProgress doLinkCleanup becomePdcWithCheckPoint updateCachedMemberships becomeInfrastructureMaster checkPhantoms dumpDatabase invalidateRidPool fixupInheritance becomePdc schemaUpdateNow recalcHierarchy doGarbageCollection becomeSchemaMaster replicateSingleObject becomeRidMaster becomeDomainMaster 10 out of these 19 are listed in the Platform SDK. Thanks for the question, Jorge. I have to include this list in the next edition of "Inside Active Directory" (whenever that will be published).
