Dear all,

I'm trying to upgrade a Windows 2000 Server domain to Windows Server
2003 R2. While I'm running the command adprep /forestprep in the 2nd
CD to upgrade the Windows 2000 domain controller, I get the following
error:

Add error on line 1327: Unwilling To Perform
The server side error is "Schema update failed: attribute in
may-contain
does not exist."
84 entries modified successfully.
An error has occurred in the program
ERROR: Import from file C:\WINNT\system32\sch31.ldf failed. Error file
is
saved in ldif.err.31.
In the ldif.err.31 file it appears the following text:

Entry DN: CN=IpProtocol,CN=Schema,CN=Configuration,DC=ederfil,DC=local
Add error on line 1327: Unwilling To Perform
The server side error is "Schema update failed: attribute in
may-contain
does not exist."
An error has occurred in the program
Additionally, the ADPrep.log file showed a text stating that Adprep
correctly verified if Windows Services for Unix where installed or
not, and that it verified that hotfix Q293783 was not applied.

The Windows 2000 DC has Windows Services for Unix v3.0 installed, and
so several hotfixes available from Microsoft, such as 919938 and
293783, which apply for Windows Services for Unix v2.0, are not useful
here, as far as I know (anyway I applied them, but to no avail).

I have tried upgrading Windows Services for Unix up to version 3.5,
but still I cannot apply the sch31.ldf upgrade.

Has any of you encountered a similar problem? Is there any additional
hotfix I could try? Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Best regards,
Jose Luis.
