Hi folks, Ned here for a quickie. Back in April I posted a short mail sack piece about Schema updating best practices. Something I couldn't talk about that the time is now public:

Testing for Active Directory Schema Extension Conflicts https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/testing-for-active-directory-schema-extension-conflicts(WS.10).aspx
