Procedure<\/h2>\n

To find current Active Directory schema<\/strong> there are different ways:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Registry<\/li>\n
  • Command Prompt<\/li>\n
  • PowerShell<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Registry<\/h4>\n

    Open the Registry Editor<\/strong> and navigate to:<\/p>\n

    HKLM\\SYSTEM\\CurrentControlSet\\Services\\NTDS\\Parameters\\<Schema Version><\/pre>\n
    \"adschema02\"<\/p>\n
     <\/p>\n
    Command Prompt<\/h4>\n
    Using the dsquery<\/em> command<\/strong>, from the Command Prompt type the following:<\/p>\n
    dsquery * cn=schema,cn=configuration,dc=domain,dc=com -scope base -attr objectVersion\"<\/pre>\n
    Just replace dc=domain, dc=com<\/span><\/em> with your configuration.<\/p>\n
    C:\\>dsquery * cn=schema,cn=configuration,dc=nolabnoparty,dc=local -scope base -attr objectVersion\"<\/span><\/p>\n
    \"adschema03\"<\/p>\n
     <\/p>\n
    PowerShell<\/h4>\n
    Launch the PowerShell ActiveDirectory module<\/strong> and type the following command to get the schema version.<\/p>\n
    Get-ADObject \"cn=schema,cn=configuration,dc=domain,dc=com\" -properties objectversion<\/pre>\n
    Replace dc=domain, dc=com<\/span><\/em> with your configuration.<\/p>\n
    PS C:\\>Import-Module ActiveDirectory
    \nPS C:\\>Get-ADObject \"cn=schema,cn=configuration,dc=nolabnoparty,dc=local\" -properties objectversion<\/span><\/p>\n
    \"adschema04\"<\/p>\n
    These methods allows you to easily identify the Active Directory schema version in use in your environment<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
