Extend the AD Schema

Restriction: This topic applies only when the Enterprise Server feature is enabled.

Create the Micro Focus AD format schema extension LDIF file (enter this and all other commands on a single line):

mfds -L "CN=Schema,CN=Configuration,domain-DN" 1 mfds-schema.ldf

This will create the file mfds-schema.ldf. Use the latest WS03 build MFDS (1.06.11 or later) for this operation to ensure you have the latest schema definitions.

Import MF schema extensions into AD:

ldifde -i -f mfds-schema.ldf -s servername -k -j .

If you are updating a remote AD server, this command may take a minute or two. When it's done, remember to rename the log files, as described above.

Note: If you want to use the Microsoft user object class for your ES users, you must extend it with additional Micro Focus attributes:

ldifde -i -f ms-user-plus-mto.ldf -s servername -k -j . -c "DC=X" "CN=Schema,CN=Configuration,domain-DN"
