Active Directory/Documentation/Extend Schema R2

The Active Directory schema must be extended to use the following components of Windows 2003 Server R2. Extending the schema to support these features does not require upgrading the domain controllers to R2. However, Identity Management for UNIX must be ran on an R2 domain controller.

• Distributed File System (DFS) Replication Service
• Print Management Console
• Identity Management for UNIX
