Hi,

Recently I am being floored by a strange issue. When I update the mobile attribute of a user account properties, it updates and I can see it updated but aftersome time it disappears.

If I do repadmin /objmeta domain-controller <DN path>, I can see that it updates....

I have even tried it from the server holding the PDC Emulator role, no luck.

Worth directly updating the schema? (I know it's not the way to go...:))

Anyone came across similar issues?

Regards,

Ochen
