Try the following steps on the domain controller.
1. Copy the sfusch.exe and AmIDcAdmin.exe from the SFU 3.0 CD or SFU 3.5
setup file
     in the NIS folder to the local drive.
2. Go to command prompt of the dir where you copied those two files.
3. Type sfusch.exe /x
4. Now you are able to extend the schema successfully.
5. Instal SFU NIS.
