Exchange Schema Version 2003 to 2010

Exchange Schema Versions

When preparing an Active Directory forest for the deployment of Exchange Server, one of the steps is to extend the Active Directory schema with new Exchange specific attributes and make modifications to existing schema classes and attributes.
Depending on the Exchange Server version (or Exchange service pack) used, the Active directory schema is extended with a different set of schema classes and attributes. The following table lists the Exchange schema version for each Exchange Server version and Exchange service pack released since Exchange 2003 RTM.
