Re: error when upgrading 2000 Forest to 2003

In news:58878BCC-1E0E-4EA5-ABB7-4EFCF5CA08A1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx,
TLMPLHou66 <tmarshall@xxxxxxxxxxx> stated, which I commented on below:
NO, I have not installed Services for Unix 2.0

It's probably due to the fact that Ex2k is in your forest. Here are some

no prob. If there were any OSx extensions, then they are Unix extensions.
But if not, then it will be Ex2000's fault.

Migration and inplace upgrades:

The following articles should help with migrating from W2K/E2K to W2k3/E2K3
and especially when doing an in-place upgrade of the domain:

Instead of the website you're using, I suggest to use OEx (Outlook Express
or any other newsreader), and configure a news account, pointing to
news.microsoft.com. This is a direct link to the Microsoft Public
Newsgroups. It is FREE and requires NO ISP's Usenet account. OEx allows you
to easily find, track threads, cross-post, sort by date, poster's name,
watched threads or subject.
It's easy:
