Source

eDirectory™

Explanation

An attempt was made to add an attribute to an eDirectory object that is not listed as an optional or a mandatory attribute within the expanded eDirectory schema class definition of the object's base class.

The only attributes that are supported for an eDirectory object are listed within the expanded eDirectory schema class definition of the object's base class.

Warning:

Applying all solutions mentioned in this topic could make the problem worse if the actual cause of the problem is not known. Before following a course of action, make sure that you understand the cause of the error and the consequences for the actions suggested.

Possible Cause

If the error occurs during the background processes for eDirectory replica synchronization, two causes for this error might be

- The eDirectory schema class definition used by the source server differs from the definition used by the target server. Additionally, the error indicates that the eDirectory schema on the source server contains additional information.
- The database on the source server is damaged.

Action

If the error occurs during the background processes for eDirectory replica synchronization, and the eDirectory schema class definition used by the source server differs from the definition used by the target server, see Resolving eDirectory Schema Synchronization Issues.

If you suspect that the database on the source server is the problem, try repairing it using DSREPAIR with Rebuild Operational Schema selected.

Possible Cause

If this error occurs while attempting to add an attribute to an object, then an unsupported attributed might have been used.

Action

Only use attributes for an eDirectory object that are supported in the expanded eDirectory schema class definition of the object's base class.

Possible Cause

If this error occurs while adding an attribute to an eDirectory alias object, eDirectory will not accept this task because this task is not supported by eDirectory.

Action

eDirectory does not support adding attributes to alias objects. Therefore, this task cannot be performed.
