ERROR_DS_NO_MSDS_INTID

The directory has no internal schema identifier available for the new definition

The msDS-IntId attribute is documented by Microsoft as an internal-use, single-valued field on schema objects. This status means schema update processing could not obtain a value needed for that internal identifier. It is not an application-defined OID and should not be populated with a guessed number in custom LDIF.

Review the schema-master and directory-service events surrounding the failed update, and determine whether the error follows repeated or partially applied schema imports. The correct schema package should define public identifiers such as OIDs and GUIDs while allowing Active Directory to manage its internal fields. Manual editing of msDS-IntId can create a second consistency failure or conflict with server allocation state.

What to inspect

  • Confirm the extension is not explicitly assigning an internal msDS-IntId value without a documented requirement.
  • Check for prior failed schema imports and adjacent identifier-allocation errors.
  • Investigate on the schema master rather than inventing a replacement internal ID.
