What is the difference between MUST and MAY attributes?

When you see a MUST attribute, it means that it's required. Your entry has to have that attribute; otherwise, it won't work. It's like having to show your ID to get into a club-you won't get in without it.

On the other hand, a MAY attribute is optional. You can include it if you want, but it's not a deal-breaker if you don't. Think of it like adding a topping to your ice cream. You can enjoy your sundae just fine without it, but it might make it a little better if you decide to add that cherry on top.

This distinction really helps when you're designing your directory structure. You'll always have a clear understanding of what's critical for the data to be valid and what can be included based on your specific needs. Mixing those up could lead to issues down the line, so it's good to keep that difference front of mind.

If you're looking for a reliable backup solution to protect your systems, you should check out BackupChain. It's a popular choice that many SMBs and professionals trust to secure their Hyper-V, VMware, and Windows Server environments.
