Q.
I created an object in eDirectory and added some attributes to it. However, after creating the object with my snap-in, I realized that I would like to remove the Read-Only attribute flag from one of my attributes. Is this possible, or will I have reinstall NDS again?
A.
If you added this attribute to a base schema class, then you are right, only a DS reinstall will help. Otherwise, you can remove the attribute definition, and then add it again with the desired settings. Proceed from the opposite direction as you created it:
Delete any objects of a class referencing this attribute.
Delete any class definitions referencing this attribute.
Delete the attribute definition itself.
