ACTIVE DIRECTORY SCHEMA (AD SCHEMA)

 * Article
 * 2020-08-19
 * 5 contributors

Feedback


IN THIS ARTICLE

The Microsoft Active Directory schema contains formal definitions of every
object class that can be created in an Active Directory forest. The schema also
contains formal definitions of every attribute that can exist in an Active
Directory object. This section provides the reference for each schema object and
provides a brief explanation of the attributes, classes, and other objects that
make up the Active Directory schema.

Note

The following documentation contains the programming reference for Active
Directory schema. If you are an end-user attempting to debug a printer error,
try searching on the Microsoft community site. If you are a developer looking
for a general overview of Active Directory schema, see the Active Directory
Schema overview topics. If you are looking for programming guidelines for
updating or modifying the schema, For more information about extending and
customizing the schema, see Extending the Schema, as well as many of the topics
in the Active Directory Domain Services and Active Directory Lightweight
Directory Services programming guides.

In each of the reference topics, there is a section for each operating system
that the topic applies to. The following operating systems are currently
supported.

Expand table

Platform Name in topic Microsoft Windows Server 2003
Windows Server 2003
Microsoft Active Directory Application Mode (ADAM)
ADAM
Microsoft Windows Server 2003 R2
Windows Server 2003 R2
Microsoft Windows Server 2008
Microsoft Windows Server 2008
Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2
Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2
Microsoft Windows Server 2012
Microsoft Windows Server 2012


If an operating system is not listed in the topic, the topic is not supported on
that operating system. For example, if a topic only lists Windows Server 2003
and ADAM, then the topic does not apply to Windows Server 2003 R2.

The following sections contain detailed information about the Active Directory
schema elements.
