Hi,

I am dcproming a 2003 R2 Server and I receive an error saying the version of
AD in the existing domain isn't compatible to the version on this server. Run
adprep again ...etc. etc.

you have to run forest prep from the 2nd CD of R2.



Just some background info. Domain Level = 2003, Forest Level =2000. Orignal
DC's and AD domain were created on 2003 server. The new servers I would like
to make DCs are R2.

Do I just have to raise the forest level to 2003 for me to be able to
dcpromo the R2 servers? Or do I have to rebuild the R2 Servers with regular
2003?

I'm hesitant to raise the forest level, because I have a trust with a NT4.0
domain that is still activiely used. Will raising the forest level to 2003
break this trust in any way?

Thanks,
