To add my €0,02... Just before I went to DEC I played with several versions of SFU and the upgrade to R2 and compared that to the fresh install of R2. Until now these are my findings. I have not yet tried a solution..
I did the following tests... Installed SFU 3.5 and updated the schema. After that I upgraded the schema for R2 --> No issues Installed SFU 3.0 and updated the schema. After that I upgraded the schema for R2 --> No issues Installed SFU 2.0 and updated the schema. After that I upgraded the schema for R2 --> well... See below I did not test SFU version upgrades starting from SFU 2.0 and then upgrade to R2, but I guess that the problem will remain in that situation. SFU 2.0 introduces the following attributes: GidNumber - attributeId = 1.2.840.113556.1.4.7000.187.71 UidNumber - attributeId = 1.2.840.113556.1.4.7000.187.70 gecos - attributeId = 1.2.840.113556.1.4.7000.187.97 loginShell - attributeId = 1.2.840.113556.1.4.7000.187.72 shadowLastChange - attributeId = 1.2.840.113556.1.4.7000.187.92 shadowMin - attributeId = 1.2.840.113556.1.4.7000.187.93 shadowMin - attributeSyntax = 2.5.5.5 shadowMax - attributeId = 1.2.840.113556.1.4.7000.187.90 shadowWarning - attributeId = 1.2.840.113556.1.4.7000.187.91 shadowWarning - attributeSyntax = 2.5.5.5 shadowInactive - attributeId = 1.2.840.113556.1.4.7000.187.89 shadowExpire - attributeId = 1.2.840.113556.1.4.7000.187.88 shadowFlag - attributeId = 1.2.840.113556.1.4.7000.187.87 memberUid - attributeId = 1.2.840.113556.1.4.7000.187.86 memberNisNetgroup - attributeId = 1.2.840.113556.1.4.7000.187.79 memberNisNetgroup - attributeSyntax = 2.5.5.1 ipServicePort - attributeId = 1.2.840.113556.1.4.7000.187.74 ipServiceProtocol - attributeId = 1.2.840.113556.1.4.7000.187.75 ipProtocolNumber - attributeId = 1.2.840.113556.1.4.7000.187.76 oncRpcNumber - attributeId = 1.2.840.113556.1.4.7000.187.81 ipHostNumber - attributeId = 1.2.840.113556.1.4.7000.187.82 ipNetworkNumber - attributeId = 1.2.840.113556.1.4.7000.187.77 ipNetmaskNumber - attributeId = 1.2.840.113556.1.4.7000.187.78 macAddress - attributeId = 1.2.840.113556.1.4.7000.187.85 bootParameter - attributeId = 1.2.840.113556.1.4.7000.187.96 bootFile - attributeId = 1.2.840.113556.1.4.7000.187.98 nisMapName - attributeId = 1.2.840.113556.1.4.7000.187.94 nisMapName - isSingleValued = FALSE nisMapEntry - attributeId = 1.2.840.113556.1.4.7000.187.95 nisMapEntry - isSingleValued = FALSE nisMap - governsId = 1.2.840.113556.1.5.7000.106.58 R2 introduces both attributes: GidNumber - attributeId = 1.3.6.1.1.1.1.1 UidNumber - attributeId = 1.3.6.1.1.1.1.0 gecos - attributeId = 1.3.6.1.1.1.1.2 loginShell - attributeId = 1.3.6.1.1.1.1.4 shadowLastChange - attributeId = 1.3.6.1.1.1.1.5 shadowMin - attributeId = 1.3.6.1.1.1.1.6 shadowMin - attributeSyntax = 2.5.5.9 shadowMax - attributeId = 1.3.6.1.1.1.1.7 shadowWarning - attributeId = 1.3.6.1.1.1.1.8 shadowWarning - attributeSyntax = 2.5.5.9 shadowInactive - attributeId = 1.3.6.1.1.1.1.9 shadowExpire - attributeId = 1.3.6.1.1.1.1.10 shadowFlag - attributeId = 1.3.6.1.1.1.1.11 memberUid - attributeId = 1.3.6.1.1.1.1.12 memberNisNetgroup - attributeId = 1.3.6.1.1.1.1.13 memberNisNetgroup - attributeSyntax = 2.5.5.5 ipServicePort - attributeId = 1.3.6.1.1.1.1.15 ipServiceProtocol - attributeId = 1.3.6.1.1.1.1.16 ipProtocolNumber - attributeId = 1.3.6.1.1.1.1.17 oncRpcNumber - attributeId = 1.3.6.1.1.1.1.18 ipHostNumber - attributeId = 1.3.6.1.1.1.1.19 ipNetworkNumber - attributeId = 1.3.6.1.1.1.1.20 ipNetmaskNumber - attributeId = 1.3.6.1.1.1.1.21 macAddress - attributeId = 1.3.6.1.1.1.1.22 bootParameter - attributeId = 1.3.6.1.1.1.1.23 bootFile - attributeId = 1.3.6.1.1.1.1.24 nisMapName - attributeId = 1.3.6.1.1.1.1.26 nisMapName - isSingleValued = TRUE nisMapEntry - attributeId = 1.3.6.1.1.1.1.27 nisMapEntry - isSingleValued = TRUE nisMap - governsId = 1.3.6.1.1.1.2.9 The problem and solution is SIMILAR to the one mentioned in http://support.microsoft.com/?id=887426 >>> >>>Cheers, >>> >>>jorge >>> >>>>>>-----Original Message----- >>>>>>From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >>>>>>[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Brian >>>>>>Desmond >>>>>>Sent: Thursday, April 13, 2006 07:28 >>>>>>To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org >>>>>>Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] issue with R2 upgrade; SFU confusion? >>>>>> >>>>>>Mike- >>>>>> >>>>>>Did you ever get any resolution on this or more info? >>>>>> >>>>>>Thanks, >>>>>>Brian Desmond >>>>>>[EMAIL PROTECTED] >>>>>> >>>>>>c - 312.731.3132 >>>>>> >>>>>> >>>>>> >>>>>>> -----Original Message----- >>>>>>> From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:ActiveDir- >>>>>>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of joe >>>>>>> Sent: Monday, February 20, 2006 7:14 PM >>>>>>> To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org >>>>>>> Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] issue with R2 upgrade; SFU confusion? >>>>>>> >>>>>>> Ask him/her what the article number is if this is a known >>>>>>issue.
