I ran recreateDefPol.exe on the Windows 2000 Server to resolve missing Group
Policy error discovered in MS 232070 and it let me successfully DCPromo the
Windows 2003 into AD.

I'm getting the same error...after resolving the ADPrep issue by running the.
one on the 2nd CD.
Error - The Active Directory Installation Wizard was unable to convert the

denied."
I looked into MS article 232070 and noticed one error...I cannot click on
"edit the Default Domain Controllers Policy" in step 1.

Cary\Neil..
once again thanks for the responses and i did get it up and running with the
R2 adprep. I had used the adprepforest and domain prep from the i386
directory and got positive results.. passed all tests but then failed on
DCPROMO so who knows. tried the trust for delegation but that didnt work so i
took it out of the domain gave it a new name and it worked straight away.. my
second 2003 R2 dc was installed in the new domain in about 15 minutes total..

Little did i know that on the secon disk of R2 is its very own version of
ADPREP.. copied that to the 2k server and ran forestprep again and got a
positive answer back..dcpromo go's a little futher now but now gives me
''The
operation failed because: The Active Directory Installation Wizard was
unable
to convert the computer account NYSERV2$ to a domain controller account.
"Access is denied." so i will start troubleshooting that one now

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 ?
