Re: setup additional domain controller

Hello Adnan,

Which Schema version do you run?
You can also verify the operating system support level of the schema by using the Adsiedit.exe utility or the Ldp.exe utility to view the objectVersion attribute in the properties of the cn=schema,cn=configuration,dc=<domain> partition. The value of the Schema Version registry subkey and the objectVersion attribute are in decimal. Schema Version ObjectVersion values and corresponding operating system support level
.. 13=Microsoft Windows 2000 .. 30=Original release version of Microsoft Windows Server 2003 and Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 (SP1) .. 31=Microsoft Windows Server 2003 R2


Best regards
