if you have w2k and e2k and you want to go to w2k3...

doing either the inetorg fix or the e2k3 forestprep resolves the mangled
attributes issue before running w2k3 adprep

Am I missing something here Jorge?


"If Exchange 2000 created these three attributes before you ran the
Windows Server 2003 adprep /forestprep command, all three attributes
become mangled. These conflict do not occur if the Windows Server 2003
adprep /forestprep command creates these attributes before you install
Exchange 2000."

remember that the e2k3 forestprep also takes care of the mangled
attributes thingy

Yep that is the article, thanks KJ.

Again, don't be scared by this, it isn't unfixable. Just a little bit of
a roundabout thing to correct if it gets messed up. Someone our test
people missed it in testing and I found it in a Fortune 5 production
deployment and we had it figured out and fixed within an hour with no
pain.

Take care of this first regardless of where your Exchange 2000 server
lives.
