Figure 131 Installer for Schema Extender and snap-ins

You cannot run the schema installer on a domain controller that hosts Windows Server 2008 Core.
For security and performance reasons, Windows Server 2008 Core does not use a GUI. To use
the schema installer, you must install a GUI on the domain controller or use a domain controller
that hosts an earlier version of Windows.

Schema Extender

Several .xml files are bundled with the Schema Extender. These files contain the schemas that
are added to the directory. Typically, one of these files contains a core schema that is common to
all of the supported directory services. Additional files contain product-specific schemas. The schema
installer requires the .NET Framework.

The Schema Extender installer includes three important windows:

Schema Preview window

The Schema Preview window (

) enables the user to view the proposed extensions to

the schema. The installer reads the selected schema files, parses the XML, and displays it as a tree
view. It lists all details of the installed attributes and classes.
