Remove attributes from AD schema

active-directoryschema

Can we edit a scheme in Active Directory?

Scheme cannot be deleted. But is there any possibility of editing?

For e.g. If the user object schema has 30 attributes, but i need only 10 attributes in it. Is there any possibility to delete or remove attributes from the user class schema/

While it might be theoretical possible (I don't know if it is), it's an extremely bad idea. AD expects to have at least the attributes in the default schema available and there is no telling what might go wrong if some of them are missing.

I don't see why you want to do this anyway. If you don't need them, don't use them.
