25.4.10 Password Setting Container Might Not Be Visible On Domain Controllers In A Mixed Mode Environment

In a mixed mode environment (OES 2015 and OES 2018 or later) if any of the domain controllers are updated prior to updating the FRD with 2012 schema, the password setting container might not be visible on domain controllers during object creation with 2012 schema level. Therefore it is recommended to always update the FRD with the latest schema level first and then update the domain controllers.
