Re: SBS 2003 R2 BDC

Hello,

Yes this is possible (bdc = PDC emulator in new speak). Is the 2003
server a member of the 2003 SBS domain?

When you ran DCpromo, is that when you got the Adprep error?

You would run the Adprep tool from CD2 of the R2 disk set
(\CMPNENTS\R2\ADPREP) on the SBS server,
then DCPROMO the R2 server into the domain.

Thanks

I am looking to setup a BDC for SBS. I have installed Server Standard 2003
R2 on the new machine. When I went to make it a BDC I got two errors. One
said that I had to run ADPREP, and in the same window it said that the two
versionswere not compatible.

Can a 2003 Standard Server 2003 R2 be a BDC for an SBS 2003 R2 Domain? If
so what are the steps that I would have to follow?
