msDS-Behavior-Version

Hello All,

Hope this post finds you in good health and spirit.

This post is regarding what is msDS-Behavior-Version ?

msDS-Behavior-Version

The msDS-Behavior-Version attribute is written on the nTDSDSA object representing a DC. The value is the highest domain or forest functional level that the DC is capable of supporting. A DC supports any domain or forest functional level less than or equal to its msDS-Behavior-Version.

The value of the msDS-Behavior-Version attribute on an nTDSDSA object changes during an operating system upgrade of that DC. The value of the msDS-Behavior-Version attribute never decreases.

The absence of the msDS-Behavior-Version attribute on an nTDSDSA object is equivalent to the msDS-Behavior-Version attribute on that object having the value zero.

The following values are defined.

Identifier Applicable domain controller operating system Value
DS_BEHAVIOR_WIN2000 * Windows 2000 Server operating system 0
DS_BEHAVIOR_WIN2003 Windows Server 2003 operating system, Windows Server 2003 R2 operating system 2
