There are a couple ways to determine your Windows AD Schema Version: ADSIedit.msc and/or LDP.exe. In this article I use ADSIedit.msc.

Note: The sample domain used in this article is Servusinc.com. Substitute this domain with your own AD domain.

  1. Open “ADSIEdit.msc ”
  2. Navigate to: “CN=Schema,CN=Configuration,DC=ServusInc,DC=com”
  3. Right-click on “CN=Schema,CN=Configuration,DC=ServusInc,DC=com” and select properties.
  4. Scroll down to “objectVersion” attribute.
  5. The value of this attribute will tell you the schema version.

This is an article I first published a couple of years ago to check what schema version a customer was running when performing an Exchange upgrade.  There have since been official articles published by Microsoft, but I prefer to keep my own blog post for easy access.

This article outlines how to find the Exchange schema and version in of your Exchange schemas. There is also a list of the schema versions per build type.

To find the attributes listed below use Adsiedit.msc. When you launch asdiedit.msc there are 3 containers listed.

  • Domain: [Domain Controller FQDN]
  • Configuration: [Domain Controller FQDN]
  • Schema: [Domain Controller FQDN]
