6. Select 'Close' and then 'OK'
7. Right-click 'Active Directory Schema' in the tree on the left
8. Select 'Change Domain Controller'
9. If the Current DC is not correct, select 'Specify Name', enter the DC, and click 'OK'
10. Right click 'Active Directory Schema' and select 'Operations Master'
11. If the Current Operations Master is not the same as the DC you just entered, click the 'Change' button
12. Check the “The Schema may be modified...” box.
13. Click 'OK' and exit the MMC

Note that the administrator account needs to be a member of the Schema Admins group.
Select 'Generic' as the 'LDAP Security Provider' to use any other LDAP server.
