adprep /forestprep fails

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



Greetings,

I am trying to add a 2003 DC to my 2000 domain.

When I run adprep /forestprep it fails referencing the following log files:

adprep.log:

Adprep was unable to complete because the call back function (null) failed.

[Status/Consequence]

Error message: Error(16) while running ""C:\WINNT\system32\CSVde.exe" -i -c
DOMAINPLACEHOLDER "DC=domain,DC=com" -u -f
"C:\WINNT\system32\debug\adprep\logs\20070110135802\DisplaySpecifierUpgradeCsvActions.001.csv"
-j "C:\WINNT\system32\debug\adprep\logs\20070110135802" -s
WizDC02.domain.com". See error file:
"C:\WINNT\system32\debug\adprep\logs\20070110135802\DisplaySpecifierUpgradeCsvError.001.txt." (0x80004005).

[User Action]

Check the log file Adprep.log, in the
C:\WINNT\system32\debug\adprep\logs\20070110135802 directory for more
information.



Adprep set the value of registry key
System\CurrentControlSet\Services\NTDS\Parameters\Schema Update Allowed to 1



Adprep was unable to update forest-wide information.

[Status/Consequence]

Adprep requires access to existing forest-wide information from the schema
master in order to complete this operation.

[User Action]

Check the log file, Adprep.log, in the
C:\WINNT\system32\debug\adprep\logs\20070110135802 directory for more
information.

Add error on line 2: No Such Attribute
The server side error is "The parameter is incorrect."
An error has occurred in the program


I have searched the web but have been unable to figure out what the next
steps should be.
