restore from Schema extensions

[patricknh]

How would you restore AD SCHema after a schema extension if it were to go bad? Lot of the Exchange zero day threat mitigation now involves a schema extension. How can Veeam be used to mitigate the risk associated with this.

AD Schema is domain wide and there is no way to roll it back without rolling back entire domain. That's main reason why Microsoft has like 100 warnings and hides Schema very well from users - 1 wrong click and your domain is doomed to follow new extended schema until the end of time.
Good planning, preparation and tests(in Veeam Virtual Labs?) are best way to solve it.

Agreed, Sadly if you use exchange.. MS seems to like to push schema extensions all the time. If I were IBM and if Lotus Notes is still a thing, I would market on the basis that you don't have to extend schema. I worked with Notes in long time, so that might be wrong. Knowing IBM's habit of buying products and making them worse it probably wants to extend the schema too.
