Problem raising forest functional level to Windows 2003

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

I have two domains in a single forest. All DC's are running Windows Server
2003. I've raised both domains from 2000 native to 2003. Now I'm trying to
raise the forest functional level from Windows 2000 to 2003. I keep getting
the message "You cannot raise the forest functional level......one or more
domains in the forest are still at Windows 2000 mixed functional level or
Windows 2003 functional level". OK, so I save the file for details and it
shows one of my domain is Windows 2000 mixed. But it's not. If I go to
raise that domain, it shows Windows Server 2003 and that it's "operating at
the highest possible functional level". I've waited over 24 hours to clear
any replication issues. I've tried raising the level from the forest root
DC and also from the DC of the domain that it claims is still in 2000 mixed.
Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,
Sly
