We all know , how to check the FFL & DFL version using the AD Snap-ins.However , if you want to check the AD schema version , you need to run regsvr32 schmmgmt.dll to active the MMC snap-in to get the required details.

Most of the time this process will fail and need additional troubleshooting steps. Instead of that , you can use the below PowerShell command to easily get the AD schema version. In the meantime , you could still use the ADSI Edit as well.

Get-ADObject (Get-ADRootDSE).schemaNamingContext -Property objectVersion

Output of the above command will give you a value for the ObjectVersion. This value need to be compared with below to obtain the correct schema version.
