You need to do what the message says :)

Run adprep for w2k3. It's separate to adpresp for exchange and further
extends the schema and prepares the forest/domains for w2k3 Dcs.

just gone thru all the adprep /forest and domain stuff and got an
exchange
error (although no exchange server in network) spoke to Microsoft
support and
got a file sent with updated version of adprep and it worked OK..
Problem now
is after i log into the new network on the 2003 server and run dcpromo
i get
the error "The operation failed because:
The Active Directory Installation Wizard cannot continue because the
forest
is not prepared for installing Windows Server 2003.
Use the Adprep command-line tool to prepare both the forest and the
domain.
For more information about using the Adprep, see Active Directory Help.

"The version of the Active Directory schema of the source forest is not
compatible with the version of Active Directory on this computer

anyone any ideas ?
