fix

The available properties in Directory and Resource Administrator (DRA) can be correlated to their matching property fields in Active Directory by viewing the the Schema.mdb file. This file is available after installing the Software Development Kit (SDK) for DRA.  The file is located in this default path:

• C:\Program Files\NetIQ\DRA\SDK\schema.mdb 

The file can be viewed using Microsoft Access.  This database contains information such as the mapping of DRA GUI fields to Active Directory properties, names of all Active Directory properties, list of cache properties, and DRA internal property names.
