The SDK (Software Development Kit) documents any additions or changes to the Directory and Resource Administrator (DRA) ADSI provider.  Though it is not required, it is recommended that the SDK be reinstalled after upgrading to a new version of DRA to have the latest features or changes available.

To reinstall the SDK, perform the following steps:

1. Launch the Setup.exe for DRA (available on the CD or from the package download from the NetIQ website).
2. Select Software Development Kit (SDK) Setup Program.
3. Select Modify and click Next.
4. Click Next.
5. Click Next again.
6. Click Finish.

For more information on the SDK, see the following NetIQ Knowledge Base article: What is the Software Development Kit (SDK) and what can it do?
