RE: ADC/Extending Schema Problem
ADC makes about 435 schema updates using .ldf files. Those files can be found in the \adc folder on the Exchange2000 or Exchange2000 sp2 cd. You can actually run them manually using ldifde.exe. You can also confirm the extensions exist with lpd.exe or adsiedit.exe. Ask for a credit for the time he took trying to figure this out. -Original Message- From: Brad Metzler [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, June 17, 2002 1:33 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: ADC/Extending Schema Problem We are trying to migrate from Exchange 5.5 to 2k and were able to install the ADC and it replicated user information over to the AD, but it appears to have not extended the schema.

RE: ADC/Extending Schema Problem
Also Brad, you can check whether the ADC schema extensions have replicated to DCs by using ADSIEdit or LDP to view the following object: cn=ms-Exch-Schema-Version-ADC,cn=schema,cn=configuration,dc=all your domain components etc Look at this object's 'rangeUpper' attribute, which should be 4197. The same idea applies to ForestPrep, but the object is Cn=ms-Exch-Schema-Version-Pt, schemaContainerDN And the value should be 4397.
