Re: Upgrade OEM windows 2003 SP1 to Windows 2003 R2

Hi
You need to run forestprep from CD2
Drive:\CMPNENTS\R2\ADPREP\adprep.exe /forestprep

Error message when you run the Active Directory Installation Wizard: "The
version of the Active Directory schema of the source forest is not
compatible with the version of Active Directory on this computer"
