Hi,

When I try to create a new child domain aA. aA is a child of domain A.

I get the request to run Adprep on Schema master and infrastructure
master.
The requesting server is W2k3 R2. The schema and infrastructure master is
W2k3.
If I run Adprep from the installation CD of w2k3 R2 it states that the
forest is ready and the domain is ready.

The server which will be DC for the new child domain aA is in another site
(connected through WAN to the Schema master). Could this be the reason for
the failure?

Any ideas ? Should I physically move the new server to the main location ?
Should I move master roles temporarily to the local site?

regards,

david
