SCCM 2007 – Can’t Extend AD Schema

During the install for SCCM, the situation may exist where the AD Schema will not extend. The log file found at “C:\extadsch.log” may have the following.

Make sure the following is true :

  • The user running the install is a Domain Admin
  • The user is a member of the Schema Admins group.

If this still does not work, create a new user in Active Directory, and have that user only be  a Domain Admin and in the Schema Admins group. Run the install again as this new user, and it should resolve the issue. Otherwise, other sources of error will be related to Active Directory not replicating correctly.
