Hi,

Assuming you wish to update schema with Windows Server 216 Server.

Below Table of adprep options, needed permissions and FSMO roles when performing AD DS schema extension.

Command	Permission	Domain Controller	Runtime	Number of times to run command

adprep /domainprep	Domain Admins	Infrastructure Master	Seconds	Once in each domain within the forest
adprep /gpprep	Domain Admins	Infrastructure Master	Seconds	Once in each domain within the forest

Insert Windows Server 2016 Media or Copy “support\adprep” folder on Domain Controller having Schema Master Role.
