Search for CN=ms-RTC-SIP-SchemaVersion. If this object exists, and the value of the rangeUpper attribute is 1150 and the value of the rangeLower attribute is 3, then the schema was successfully updated and replicated.

Lets prepare the current Forest. Click Run in Deployment wizard.

Verify Replication of Global Catalog
