Active Directory & Exchange Schema Versions

Schema Version

The Schema Versions option will display the current schema, domain, and forest level for a number of updates completed in the domain. This option can be used to support two scenarios, firstly to confirm the AD, Exchange, OCS schema version and functional levels, and secondly, to confirm a schema update has replicated to all the domain controllers in the forest by using the Include attribute and class counts option.  With the Include attribute and class counts options selected, the  total number of attributes and classes in the schema are returned.  When the scan is run with the Decode Value option deselected, only the values are returned.

These are the column definitions:

FFL - Forest Functional Level
DFL - Domain Functional Level
DCFL - Domain Controller Functional Level
Forest - Forest Update level
Domain - Domain Update level
RODC - The Read-Only Domain Controller update level
Schema - Active Directory schema version 
Exch Sch - Exchange schema version
Exch Forest - Exchange forest update level
Exch Dom - Exchange domain update level
OCS - Office Communication Server\Lync schema version
User Attributes - The number of attributes in the User class
Group Attributes - The number of attributes in the group class
Computer Attributes - The number of attributes in the computer class
Attributes - The number of attributes in the schema
Classes - The number of classes in the schema

The tables below show the schema update for the corresponding values stored in the AD.
