The purpose of this article is to teach you the way to install the Active Directory schema snap-in in windows server 2003. Schema is the set of definitions for the universe of objects that can be stored in a directory. For each object class, the schema defines which attributes an instance of the class must have, which additional attributes it can have, and which other object classes can be its parent object class. The Active Directory schema contains the definitions for all objects in the directory. Every new directory object you create is validated against the appropriate object definition in the schema before being written to the directory.
