Schema Extensions for Windows Server 2008 R2 to support AD DS backup of TPM information from Windows 8 clients

 

Applies To: Windows Server 2012

For Windows 8 a change to how the TPM owner authorization value is stored in AD DS was implemented in the AD DS schema. This topic provides more details about this change and provides template schema extensions that you can incorporate into your organization as appropriate:

Why a schema extension is needed

The TPM owner authorization value is now stored in a separate object which is linked to the Computer object. This value was stored as a property in the Computer object itself for the default Windows Server 2008 R2 schemas. Windows Server 2012 domain controllers have the default schema to backup TPM owner authorization information in the separate object. If you are not upgrading your domain controller to Windows Server 2012 you need to extend the schema to support this change. If Active Directory backup of the TPM owner authorization value is enabled in a Windows Server 2008 R2 environment without extending the schema, the TPM provisioning will fail and the TPM will remain in a Not Ready state for computers running Windows 8. The following are the two schema extensions that you can use to bring your Windows Server 2008 R2 domain to parity with Windows Server 2012:

TpmSchemaExtension.ldf

This schema extension brings parity with the Windows Server 2012 schema and is required if you want to store the TPM owner authorization value for a computer running Windows 8 in a Windows Server 2008 R2 AD DS domain. With this extension the TPM owner authorization information will be stored in a separate TPM object linked to the corresponding computer object.

You should be aware that only the Computer object that has created the TPM object can update it. This means that any subsequent updates to the TPM objects will not succeed in dual boot scenarios or scenarios where the computer is reimaged resulting in a new AD computer object being created. If you are planning to support such scenarios, you will need to update the schema further as shown in the schema extension example, TpmSchemaExtensionACLChanges.ldf.

TpmSchemaExtensionACLChanges.ldf

This schema update modifies the ACLs on the TPM object to be less restrictive so that any subsequent operating system which takes ownership of the computer object can update the owner authorization value in AD DS.

Important

After implementing this schema update, any computer in the domain can update the OwnerAuth of the TPM object (although it cannot read the OwnerAuth). When using this extension, perform a regular backup of the TPM objects and enable auditing to track the changes for these objects.
