ActiveRoles 6.1 and schema / FFL upgrade

JP3
over 7 years ago

Hi everyone,
I have inherited an old implementation of ActiveRoles 6.1.

We are about to make some AD changes -- in particular to extend our schema from 2008R2 to 2012R2 and to raise the forest/domain functional levels from 2003 to 2008R2.

Have any of you made either of these changes while running ActiveRoles 6.1?

If so, were there any problems?

I suspect nothing will break, but since I am new to ActiveRoles, and the version is old/unsupported, I wanted to check here first.

Thanks in advance for any information or advice you have.

    I advise read ARS 6.1 SysReq and deduce from there what is exactly supported.
    In theory, potential issues, I may guess:
    (a) Exchange Mbx management via ARS WI/UI
    (b) Lync issues
    (c) other apps relying on AD schema extension attributes, ARS 6.1 was not tested against.

    6.1 was released in 2008 and Support ended in 2011. It will not work with 2012. I recommend upgrading to the latest release, but keep in mind that an upgrade will not be easy as there have been several revisions since then with numerous core changes.
