publishes site information to AD DS. However, you can extend the schema after installing
Configuration Manager and configure the site manually to publish to AD DS.
You can extend the Active Directory schema by using either of the following methods:
The LDIFDE command-line tool (Ldifde.exe) and the ConfigMgr_ad_schema.ldf file.
You must modify the ConfigMgr_ad_schema.ldf file to include the name of the Active
Directory forest prior to modifying the schema.
The ExtADSch.exe tool. ExtADsch.exe creates a log file in the root of the system drive
called Extadsch.log.
You can find both the executable files in either the \SMSSETUP\BIN\i386 folder or the
\SMSSETUP\BIN\x64 folder on the installation media. ExtADSch.exe is a standalone execut-
able file; however, the ConfigMgr_ad_schema.ldf file requires you to run the following com-
mand to use it.
ldifde -i -f ConfigMgr_ad_schema.ldf -v -j <location to store log file>

Site systems used in client deployment
The process of installing the Configuration Manager client software uses several site systems.
In addition to the site systems that play a direct role in client deployment, several site systems
might participate in client deployment.
The following site system roles are involved directly with installing client devices:
Management point
Fallback status point
Software update point
Enrollment point and enrollment proxy point
Distribution point
Reporting services point
Management point
A management point is usually required to complete the client installation process because
the client might need to contact a distribution point to download necessary prerequisite soft-
ware. The installation process is complete when the client has registered with a primary site,
receives its initial policy assignment, and then retrieves the policy. This initial policy sets the
components to their desired state. In most installation methods, the client downloads
CCMSetup.exe and Client.msi files from a management point and any other prerequisites
