The schema of an Active Directory is the definition of all objects in that instance of Active Directory. The schema of Austin Active Directory consists of the default attributes and classes for Active Directory Domain Services and Microsoft Exchange as well as the custom utexasAuxClass and the associated attributes. The following classes are the most commonly used object classes and have been extended with the utexasAuxClass to support attributes beyond the defaults defined by Microsoft:
- Users - objects that represent unique accounts and are either EID-based accounts or created via the Department User Tools
- Groups - objects that represent logical collections of other objects and are created via Office 365 Management Tools, the Department Group Tools, or directly by department IT staff
- Computers - objects that represent unique devices connected to Active Directory and can be optionally managed via Group Policy
- Organizational Units - objects that define the structure of Active Directory and are commonly created to organize objects
