Extending Active Directory schema
Extending your Active Directory schema adds a Dell organizational unit, schema classes and attributes, and example privileges and
association objects to the Active Directory schema. Before you extend the schema, make sure that you have the Schema Admin
privileges on the Schema Master Flexible Single Master Operation (FSMO) Role Owner of the domain forest.
NOTE: Make sure to use the schema extension for this product is dierent from the previous generations of RAC
products. The earlier schema does not work with this product.
NOTE: Extending the new schema has no impact on previous versions of the product.
You can extend your schema using one of the following methods:
• Dell Schema Extender utility
• LDIF script le
If you use the LDIF script le, the Dell organizational unit is not added to the schema.

respective directories:
• DVDdrive :\SYSMGMT\ManagementStation\support\OMActiveDirectory_Tools\Remote_Management_Advanced\LDIF_Files
• <DVDdrive>: \SYSMGMT\ManagementStation\support\OMActiveDirectory_Tools\Remote_Management_Advanced\Schema

You can copy and run the Schema Extender or LDIF les from any location.
