Hi All,
Im currently trying to install Sccm and need to link my SCCM server to DC but due to me getting the below error I cant go any further.
Im currently on the Administrator account but it seems that I still need to put this account in the Schema admin group.
I cant seem to access this group I cant see it in Users or anywhere - When I search for the account I have to search the Entire directory but then cant access the properties?
How do I add a user or even the admin account into this group so I can carry on doing the necessary step to install SCCM?
I get this message
Please help! and thanks in advance!

You can check current members
Get-ADGroupMember -Identity "Schema Admins" -Recursive
and add to group here.

Hi @Dave Patrick ,
Unfortunately
Get-ADGroupMember -Identity "Schema Admins" -Recursive
didnt work the error i got is
And with adding the group for me Schema admin isn't in the user section, the only way I can see it is if I search for it and using "entire directory"
Thanks for the reply

1.) You may need to
import-module activedirectory
2.) Try looking on the domain controller in ADUC

Thanks for the reply I have tried this:
import-module activedirectory
And I get this:
I have looked in users in ADUC (active directory users and computers) and nothing.
any ideas

I don't know what this even means. Do you have a domain controller? If so what operating system is installed?

What I'm trying to say, Schema admins group isn't in ADUC under the users
But if I change users to Entire directory Schema Admins group comes up
The Server we are running for the DC is windows server 2012 r2

From cmd.exe run dsa.msc then in Users branch find Schema Admins, double-click it, then Members tab, add the user.

What does DSA.MSC actually do? also is this ran on the domain controller itself ?
It starts ADUC (Active directory Users and Computers) snap-in, yes run it from any domain controller.

Please go to ADUC, select entire directory and then add members into it.
There is only one schema admin group in AD and its in the root domain hence you cannot search it while selecting the child domains.
Hope this clarifies.@AB21805

Hi @Gurjinderpal_06 ,
Thanks for this! Where is entire directory? - only way I see entire directory is when I right click and do a search for a ie computer or user
Sorry for the simple question but Im pretty new with DC
Thanks in advance
