Exchange Server Changes to the Active Directory Schema
By Michael Mainer
If you have looked at the latest Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 SDKs, you might be wondering, "Where is the Active Directory Schema Changes Reference?" For earlier versions of Exchange, version-specific Active Directory schema changes information is included in the SDK for that product. However, administrators and developers told us they want an easily discoverable location for the Active Directory schema changes information, and that they want the schema changes information to cover multiple versions of Exchange. And schema administrators told us they want a document that they can easily integrate into their plans and that enables them to share information about upcoming changes with their teams. We listened to this feedback, and along with the Exchange 2010 SDK documentation, we published a single Microsoft Word document that contains Active Directory schema changes information for multiple versions of Exchange. There is your new Active Directory Schema Changes Reference!
The Active Directory Schema Changes Reference document contains the following sections:
-
Exchange 2010 SP2 Active Directory Schema Changes
