SYMPTOMS
When you or another administrator use the Schema Management Console to add an optional attribute to a class or auxiliary class, the operation may fail.



CAUSE
This issue can occur if the attribute or class that you are adding contains any portion of a present optional attribute or auxiliary class string for the class.

For example, if you create an attribute abc and add it to a class, you are unable to add another attribute called abc  to the class, where  is any valid character or combination of characters.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, use Ldp.exe to add the optional attribute or auxiliary class, or reverse the order in which you add the attributes to the class.

For example, add abc  before you add abc.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
