3.1.1.3.1.1.4 Classes

msdn link

Section 7 of [RFC2252], as well as section 7 of [RFC2256] and section 3 of [RFC2798], defines a set of classes common to LDAP directories. In addition, portions of the Active Directory schema are derived from [RFC1274] and [RFC2307]. The following tables show, for each of these RFCs, the classes included in the Active Directory default schemas of Windows Server 2003 operating system and later (including Active Directory Application Mode (ADAM)). Some of these classes were added to the schema of Windows Server 2003 or Windows Server 2003 R2 operating system but were not present in the Windows 2000 operating system schema; [MS-ADSC] and [MS-ADLS] specify the classes included in each version of the schema.
