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. (please don't forget to mark helpful replies)

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

From cmd.exe run dsa.msc then in Users branch find Schema Admins, double-click it, then Members tab, add the user. (please don't forget to mark helpful replies)

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 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

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