I recently had to do another very painful round of custom AD schema extensions and the following are invaluable.

Reference

You should also take a look at the following previous posts on the subject:

  • https://identitychaos.com/2006/09/miis-solutions-designing-effective.html
  • https://identitychaos.com/2006/09/miis-solutions-designing-effective_25.html
  • https://identitychaos.com/2006/10/miis-solutions-designing-effective.html

If you can find Guido's presentation it is certainly worth it and is the best treatise I've read on the subject for sure.
