Re: Adding Branch office server to the same domain at corp office



Standard R2 is a newer Release (Release 2). You should make sure that both
are running R2 and Windows Updates has the same patch level on both. Then
validate that the hardware is the same and then you should be able to do
this again. Otherwise it is going to block you.

Yes, You are correct they are both are standard editions, however one is
Standard R2 what ever that means.

I watched one of the web casts about AD and was trying to do
everything
as
they said in the web cast. I have two locations one in MA and a new
location in NY. I have two win 2003 servers I backed up the system
state
from
the MA server and then restore it to the NY office. Next i ran
DCPROMO/adv
pointed to the restored system state. This is where I get stopped... I
get
an error that says the two servers are on different builds and they
have
to
be both on the same build to proceed. I checked both servers and the
error
was correct they are on different build. The one in MA is
3790.srv03_sp1_rtm.050324-1447 and the one in NY is
3790.srv03_sp1_qfe.050504-1733. I ran all MS updates and there is none
pending on either server the difference is the NY server is brand new
and
it
is running the R2. I assume that is the difference... My basic
question
is
how do I get these builds to agree so I can complete this task.
