Hi Peter,

My original information was correct. Running forestprep with Exchange 2000
SP3 will NOT fix those attributes.

So I'm not quite sure how you do not have the mangled attributes Peter
unless you've installed the Exchange 2003 version of the ADC (which performs
a full extension of the schema similar to running forestprep) before you ran
adprep /forestprep for Windows 2003.

Whew, hope this helps!
