        Is there other way(s) via a local schema or else to modify/extend

    No.  You shouldn't be using the garbage OpenLDAP build shipped with
    Ubuntu anyway.

For information to those that may interested (and for the record)...

Here is a simple description of the openldap <-> Outlook ldap
addressbook issue:
Source: http://victor-sudakov.livejournal.com/124269.html
Translation:

In addition, for the address list organization to be displayed in
Outlook, it seems necessary to patch the file
/etc/openldap/schema/core.schema in order to add 'company' attribute as
alias to 'o', something like:

attributetype ( 2.5.4.10 NAME ( 'company' 'o' 'organizationName' ) DESC
'RFC2256: organization this object belongs to' SUP name )

Nonsense. This is why we have the rewrite module and attribute mapping functions.

Modifying IETF published schema is prohibited.

Just thought that may be helpful to know and record on the forum...

No. Breaking the server is not the way to adapt schema for broken clients.
