Please rate your experience Yes No. Remember that going to a new functional level is a one way process and that you can't go back afterwards. See if you really need those features befor you move in case you have a large environment in particular, AD is the last thing you want problems with. We're moving to from next year so that's somethign we'll be reviewing soon but the AD Recycling bin is something that sounds very interesting especially in a large environment or where you have lots of hands on the AD console.

Are you saying by editing group policy on and distributed by a Server domain controler, and using a local workstation's group policy manager console, this would reveal the extra options in the Active Directory group policies, and Server would then distribute these settings?

Therefore from then on I could still edit the policies on Server too? Would I be right in thinking then that rasing Server to schema is the kind of thing one really wants to be thinking about when you do have some definate Server upgrade plans, and then only when you have a Server Domain controller on the network? We currently have only 2 x Server domain controllers.

Thanks for the info man :. Ihor is talking about raising the functional level of your AD this i believe is diffrent to the group policy its self.

Hi, Can anyone explain me, how and when the schema should update? You should definitely use this tool to otherwise sync the schemas across your production and test environments.

Perform a Forest Recovery Test on your production forest. Please be sure you isolate your recovery environment when you test forest recovery. Your recovered forest will most certainly have an identical schema to production. Perform your schema update test on this recovered environment. Typically people will shy away from 3 because it seems the hardest and potentially most dangerous if you forget to fully isolate the recovered forest. However, based on my experiences, I think 3 is the best option.

Thus, the best only? I know it sounds harsh and it is , but you must be prepared for forest recovery. A couple points to make this otherwise bitter pill a bit easier to swallow:.

You should have a documented and tested forest recovery plan anyways. But it is very unforgiving in the details. You can actually kill two birds with one stone here.

The forest recovery test will actually generate a great test environment for testing your schema extension see option 3, above, for testing schema updates. Then perform the schema update on the schema master. Any badness is contained to the schema master. If something goes bad, blow up the schema master and repair the rest of the forest seize schema master on another DC and clean out the old schema master. First, choosing one of those strategies still does not absolve you from needing a documented and tested forest recovery plan.

Second, either of those strategies requires a good bit of work in preparing and executing. Failure to execute properly could be disastrous. Taking DCs offline, or isolating them, significantly impairs the ability to check health, you need to be on your toes to distinguish real errors from self-inflicted errors caused by the isolation.
