SUMMARY
The first time that you install Exchange 2000 Server or the first time that you run the forestprep command, the schema is updated. This article explains how to find out if a schema update is required if you are performing an upgrade or are running a newer version of Setup or the forestprep command.

MORE INFORMATION
To determine whether a schema update is required when you perform an upgrade or run a newer version of Setup or the forestprep command, in the Setup folder on both the original installation Exchange 2000 Server CD-ROM and the later version Exchange 2000 Server CD-ROM, open the Schema9.ldf file. Search for the following information:

dn: CN=ms-Exch-Schema-Version-Pt,schema_container_Distinguished_Name

changetype: modify

replace: rangeUpper

rangeUpper: 4197 If the later version of the Schema9.ldf file has a higher number than the installation version of the Schema9.ldf file, a schema update is required.
