Windows Server 8 Beta - Schema Version - Update

I previously posted a "quick-hitter" blog about the Active Directory Schema version in Windows 8 Developers Preview.

Windows Server 8 Beta has been out for over a week now and I have a domain controller in my lab for testing.  The schema version is now 52


I once again used adfind to quickly find the schema version.



I've updated the Active Directory Schema version table below.


Windows Server 8 Beta52
Windows 2008 R247
Windows 200844
Windows 2003 R231
Windows 200330
Windows 200013

    I believe that this is not the last Schema version for Windows Server 8 ;)

    I "feel" that it would change in the final release :]

    I would say that the final SC ver would be 55 (does any one bet ? :P)

    I'm going with 54, but if the next version is RTM then it could be 53 but I'll stick with 54 for the bet :)

    You missed out version 39 (2008 beta) from your table :)
    Since they increased with five extensions from the beta version to RTM with Win2008, my bet goes with version 57 :)

    Mike,

    we both were not right! :) Windows Server 2012 RC schema version is 56
    It's higher that we predicted ;)
