Issue

How do I determine which ADAM instance is the Schema Master?

Solution

If the site uses other dedicated Application Servers, you can determine which one is running the master ADAM instance to find out which is the Schema Master:

1. Select Start > Run and type mmc.

2. In the Console dialog, select File > Add/Remove Snap-in.

3. In the Add/Remove Snap-in dialog, click Add.

4. From the Snap-in list, select ADAM Schema and click Add.

5. To close the Add Standalone Snap-in dialog, click Close.

6. To close the Add/Remove Snap-in dialog, click OK.

7. Right-click ADAM Schema and select Change ADAM Server.

8. In the Connect to ADAM Server dialog, enter localhost as the ADAM server and add the port, usually 389.

9. Select This Account and select a user that is an ADAM Administrator from the list.

10. Click OK.

11. Right-click ADAM Schema and select Operations Master.

    The current Schema Master is listed in the dialog. This is the Application Server on which to upgrade the ADAM database.
