Verify Replication of Schema Partition

  • Article

To verify that the schema extensions are successfully replicated in your Active Directory Domain Services forest, do the following:

  1. Sign in a domain controller (other than the domain controller that holds the schema master role) in your Active Directory Domain Services forest, where the schema extensions were applied as a member of the Enterprise Admins group.

  2. Open ADSI Edit: Select Start, select Administrative Tools, and then select ADSI Edit.

    Tip

    Alternatively, click Start, then click Run, type adsiedit.msc to start ADSI Edit.

  3. In the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) tree, if it isn't already selected, select ADSI Edit.

  4. On the Action menu, select Connect to.

  5. In the Connection Settings dialog box under Select a well known Naming Context, select Schema, and then select OK.

  6. Under the schema container, search for CN=ms-RTC-SIP-SchemaVersion. If this object exists, and the value of the rangeUpper attribute is 1150 and the value of the rangeLower attribute is 3, then the schema was successfully updated and replicated. If this object doesn't exist or if the values of the rangeUpper and rangeLower attributes aren't as specified, then the schema wasn't modified or hasn't replicated.

Note

If your check of the replication of the schema does not yet show a successful replication, wait approximately 15 minutes and then check again. Active Directory replication is based on a loose consistency model and some replication latency can occur, based on a number of factors in the server and infrastructure.
