Seeing one of those schema version in your directory, only means that your AD forest is currently based on this schema version. It doesn't indicate if manual [[Samba_AD_schema_extensions|schema extension]] have been made.


Samba currently doesn't support all classes/attributes, MS introduced in schemas later than 47 (Windows Server 2008R2). If you're planning to have a Windows DC (not Member Server!) in your AD forest, this means, they can't be newer than Windows Server 2008R2! A newer server version requires to upgrade the schema, what makes the AD incompatible with Samba DCs!

Samba AD Schema Version Support

Samba supports the following Active Directory schema versions:

Samba Version Highest Supported Schema Version
4.11 and later 69
4.5 - 4.10 69 *
4.0 - 4.4 47

* Experimental support. To report problems, click https://bugzilla.samba.org.

Live Upgrade

To upgrade the schema version on a running Samba installation to 2012_R2, use this command:

> samba-tool domain schemaupgrade

Note: This tool only works from 2008 R2. In order to upgrade from earlier versions, the ldf files must be manually sourced from the Windows adprep tool and run with the --ldf-file= option.

Determine the AD Schema Version on a Samba DC

To determine the Active Directory (AD) schema version on a Samba domain controller (DC):

# ldbsearch -H /usr/local/samba/private/sam.ldb -b 'cn=Schema,cn=Configuration,dc=samdom,dc=example,dc=com' -s base objectVersion
# record 1
dn: CN=Schema,CN=Configuration,DC=samdom,DC=example,DC=com
objectVersion: 47

# returned 1 records
# 1 entries
# 0 referrals



Determine the AD Schema Version on a Windows Client or Server

dsquery

To determine the Active Directory (AD) schema version from the Windows command line:

> dsquery * "cn=Schema,cn=Configuration,dc=samdom,dc=example,dc=com" -scope base -attr objectversion
objectversion
47


PowerShell

To determine the Active Directory (AD) schema version from the Windows PowerShell:

> Get-ADObject (Get-ADRootDSE).schemaNamingContext -properties objectVersion
DistinguishedName : CN=Schema,CN=Configuration,DC=contoso,DC=com
Name              : Schema
ObjectClass       : dMD
ObjectGUID        : 92801cf6-f22d-4b7f-ba70-00af98790881
objectversion     : 47
