| I'm looking for some schema design best practices, based upon experience.
For example:
Are there additional attributes which you would suggest be:
indexed
added to the PAS
replicated when a user is duplicated
indexed for containerised searches?
Are there classes to which you would add other attributes? (e.g. add managedBy to User)
I'm also interested to hear views regarding Schema mods and how they should be performed in a controlled fashion (lag sites etc).
I have my own views on all of the above but am keen to hear the views of others.
Thanks,
neil

| Additional attibute to index - objectClass and company specific mods
Add to the PAS - Usually company specific items
Copied when object is copied - none, don't recommend using ADUC for anything
other than small orgs
Container index - would depend on whether you do a lot of one level searches
for something, overall, I don't believe I have seen much call for this.
Preserve on tombstone - load this baby up, makes undeletes more useful
ManagedBy applied to users, good idea. I think I would consider a whole
suite of object lifecycle management additions though as well. Last
reviewed, next review (in case of special items not reviewed on normal
schedule), where it is in the lifecycle process , etc.
For schema mods, drop schema fsmo in isolated site (i.e. not replicating
often), make changes. If they look good, move another DC into the site and
watch it replicate across and doublecheck for issues again. If that is good,
open up replication to site or drag DCs back to main sites. If you have a
large environment, drag to different far removed sites so that your updates
can start propogating out from multiple locations, puttin a DC in a site
that it doesn't have high connectivity to for the short period of time to
replicate in schema mods shouldn't be too troublesome.
