When you can understand the actual rationale behind of AD schema extension you will not reject the idea the next time you deploy SCCM. But nonetheless, AD schema extension is only performed once. So if you are using SCCM 2007 and upgrade to SCCM 2012, then you do not have to perform this action again.
What is AD schema actually?
In a nutshell, AD schema is part of AD component where it keeps the data of all the AD objects. And these objects are term under class and attributes.
What is an attribute?
Attributes contain data that defines the information that is stored in an object or in another attribute. For example, a user account object has attributes that store user information, such as the user’s first name, last name, password, office number, and telephone number.
What is an class?
Object definitions are categorized into groups that are called classes. Classes act as blueprints that can be used each time a new object is created. When a new object is created in the directory, the object’s class determines the attributes that are associated with the new object, including which attributes are required and which attributes are optional.
The above information is taken from:
A one time only AD schema extension will create 14 attributes and 4 classes in AD. (18 in total)
Attributes:
cn=mS-SMS-Assignment-Site-Code
cn=mS-SMS-Capabilities
cn=MS-SMS-Default-MP
