You have a better sense for how likely it is that someone in the wild is altering their schema and might have changed an already existing attribute, as it seems I did.

I *do* have copies of the original ldif files I imported, so I know how to check what I used. But where is the new schema that the schemaupgrade option uses?

The Samba schema upgrade script uses this:

/usr/share/samba/setup/adprep/WindowsServerDocs/Schema-Updates.md

This path is on Debian, so yours may differ.

The script reads 'Schema-Updates.md' and creates the required ldif's 
from it, so I think you need to remove anything from that list that is 
already in AD.
