You don't actually say what the error is. --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP

You found the ms-Exch-Resource-Schema attribute in the schema, right? And when you examined it's "mayContain" property what do you see? --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP

Sorry ... i found ms-Exch-Resource-Schema value and i try edit DUP-msExchResourcePropertySchema-fc00478e-2bbe-413d-8181-357bcaf7fa7a value into msExchResourcePropertySchema but its give error like "the attribute cannot be modified because it is owned by system" Thanks, Gopi

Hi Gopi, Please give it a shot: Open Regedit and add the following registry Key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\NTDS\Parameters Value name: Allow System Only Change Data type: REG_DWORD Radix: Binary Value data: 1 This will allow us to change the Object Class Attribute - This setting will change back to 0 after a reboot. Hope it helps.Rowen TechNet Community Support
