Hello

What you did looks ok to me. It should work...
One thing to check: the Schema Master.
I would check potential DNS issues, netdom query fsmo, make sure it was not
backuped/restored recently...

Hope it helps
Best regards,

Michel-Vincent

Hi,

Thanks for information.
I have checked the MS-SMS-Management-Point and no dNSHostName associated.
Can I add it manually?

I have worked a lot on checking schema permission, let me explain what I
have checked.

- I am running 2003 AD upgrade from 2000 AD. I have checked the registry
"HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NTDS\Parameters\Schema Update
Allowed" is set to 1.

- In the Active Directory Users and Computers console. The System folder has
allowed my SMS Server Computer Account full permission, subfoler "System
Management" and "SMS-MP-XXX-XXXX" and "SMS-SLP-XXX-XXXX" has inherited the
permission.

- Schema Admins included "administrator" and also SMS Server Computer
Account.

- I ran extadsch.exe from SMS SP2 CD, with "administrator" privilege, tried
in both Master AD and also SMS Server. Extadsch.log shows the failure.

Do I miss any step?

Thanks!

Hello

"Besides, is the failure because the attributes are already exists? What
does
SMS SP2 do with these attributes?"

SP2 schema modification simply associates the pre-existing dNSHostName
attribute class with the pre-existing
MS-SMS-Management-Point object class. It does NOT create any new object or
attribute classes.

It really looks like a permission/rights issue to me... Can you check that
dNSHostName is associated with MS-SMS-Management-Point in the Schema? If
yes,
it means schema extension by SP2 was successful after all...

Hope it helps,

MV

However, I have already worked around with the schema permission but the
result is no good.
Let me explain what I have done.

1. Since there is no 2000 AD server, I use a non-AD 2000 server to open
the
Schema Admin Console and verified the box "The Schema may be modified on
this Domain Controller" is already checked.

2. the "administrator" account is already "Schema Admins" group. I
performed
extadsch.exe in the Master AD, but the same failure result.

3. I created another "SMSAdmin" account, with "Domain Admins" and "Schema
Admins" only. I login this account to the Master AD and perform
extadsch.exe, but the same failure result.

Besides, is the failure because the attributes are already exists? What
does
SMS SP2 do with these attributes?

Thanks a lot!

Is the account you ran the extadsch.exe in the schema admins group?

Hi all,

I have problem related to Schema Update. SMS_SITE_COMPONENT_MANAGER
always
shows the following error:

===ErrorMsg===================================================================
Systems Management Server cannot update the dNSHostName property for
the
existing object "cn=SMS-MP-<site>-<server>" in Active Directory. This
property is used to publish fully qualified host names in Active
Directory.

Possible cause: The Active Directory schema has not been extended with
latest version of the SMS Active Directory classes and attributes.
Solution: Ensure the schema has been extended with the latest version
of
the
SMS Active Directory classes and attributes. The schema can be
extended
with the tool "extadsch.exe" from the SMS directory on the SMS Site
server
that reported this message.
===ErrorMsg===================================================================

Then I use Schema Admin to view the attributes, it shows the following
information.
Is the common name correct with "xmS", "xMS" and "XMS" as starting
letters?
It seems weird with these names. If it is the problem, how can I
correct
them?

===schemaadmin=============================================================
Attribute CommonName
mSSMSAssignmentSiteCode xmS-SMS-Assignment-Site-Code
mSSMSDefaultMP xMS-SMS-Default-MP
mSSMSDeviceManagementPoint xmS-SMS-Device-Management-Point

mSSMSMPName xMS-SMS-MP-Name
mSSMSRangedIPHigh xMS-SMS-Ranged-IP-High
mSSMSRangedIPLow xMS-SMS-Ranged-IP-Low
mSSMSRoamingBoundaries xMS-SMS-Roaming-Boundaries

===schemaadmin=============================================================

Then I try to run extadsch.exe from SP2 disc, extadsch.log shows the
following error. However, I have used the administrator privilege and
run
in
Master AD Server. And I have performed success
