ADAM Schema Update failing

I have searched around and I cannot find anything that helps me. I am trying to update the schema on ADAM but i continue to receive this error, which I have discovered is pretty common:

Add error on line 1049: No Such Attribute
The server side error is: 0x57 The parameter is incorrect.
The extended server error is:
00000057: LdapErr: DSID-0C090B3D, comment: Error in attribute conversion operation, data 0, va28

I created my LDF file from a microsoft tutorial and by comparing with the MS-User.LDF in the ADAM directory.

Here it is. What is wrong with it?

Hi

you need to extend your ADAM schema with the attributeSchema definitions
for all of the attributes (accountNumber, budget...etc.) before you can
add the classSchema that may contain them.

I have done so, but they are contained in a seperate file, which works without error.

here's a snipper of that file:

#Attribute definition for AccountNumber

dn: CN=accountNumber,CN=Schema,CN=Configuration,DC=X
changetype: ntdsschemaadd
objectClass: top
objectClass: attributeSchema
cn: accountNumber
attributeID: 1.2.840.113556.1.8000.2554.452.2773.1176.3555.3259 .8084608.290976.1.35
attributeSyntax: 2.5.5.12
isSingleValued: TRUE
adminDisplayName: accountNumber
adminDescription: accountNumber
oMSyntax: 64
searchFlags: 0
lDAPDisplayName: accountNumber

Hi

does the line number that the error message refers to exist in your file?

If you want to drop me a copy of the LDIF files you are trying to import
I will take a look (remove -nospam from my posting address to use e-Mail).

Thanks

I have waited for 3 days. Is there any resolution to my problem?

As a last resort, I went through each attribute to see which one was failing. Turns out that organisationalUnitID was the dodgy one. So, I did this:

mayContain: middleName
#mayContain: organisationalUnitID THIS IS BROKEN FOR AN UNKNOWN REASON
mayContain: 1.2.840.113556.1.8000.2554.452.2773.1176.3555.3259 .8084608.290976.1.25
mayContain: salutation

Now it works. Dunno why that one breaks though.

Maybe a typo. in the definition of the attributeSchema definition for
organisationalUnitID? If you would be prepared to share just the
attribute definition for organisationalUnitID I would be happy to
try and repro the problem.

Thanks
