No pb to test it again a windows server but you have not to forget that 
some people (and they are more and more numerous) do not have always a 
provision with the state of art objects in it (otherwise I won't spend 
my time on upgradeprovision).

In this particular case you could have made the test a bit different as 
if the attribute do not exists we are not removing it so it won't hit 
the test, using the relax control is not the best solution as it is a 
kind of sledgehammer. Also you can ask yourself and the list of the 
effect of what you are adding to the samdb code with existing provision.

Matthieu.
