thanks for the Reply Jorge. The link you provided is not to an
adprep.exe-specific change in sp2 though. Good information and I
appreciate it though. Assuming you provided the link you meant to, you
are not aware of adprep.exe sp2 changes? I didn't see anything listed
when I looked at the KB article listing fixes in sp2, and the server 2003
tech center area specific to 'upgrading windows 2000 domains to windows
2003 domains' only mentions changes that occurred with adprep.exe in sp1.
Typically, I would just download from microsoft so I knew I was getting
the latest version but I could not find a download for adprep.exe so all
I have is what came on my sp1 integrated 2k3 cd...

Thanks for the reply Paul,

I realize SP's don't extend the schema... In reading from the windows
server tech center I saw that the version of adprep.exe on the 2k3 cd's
with sp1 (integrated) included important changes from the original...
and so since the newest 2k3 cd's have sp2 integrated I wanted to make
sure that adprep did not change again... since I only have the sp1
integrated cd.

So when you say I have the latest version, is that what you are
refering to? adprep.exe on sp1 integrated 2k3 R2 cd is latest?

sorry for my likely confusing way of asking a simple question... I have
a problem with that :)

SP's will not extend your schema. You have the latest version
available.

I have a Windows Server 2003 R2 cd (with sp1, not sp2). Does anyone
know if Cmpnents\R2\Adprep from this cd is the latest version? I
searched microsoft downloads and did not come up with anything. I'm
about to upgrade a 2000 domain to 2003 and want to make sure I'm using
the latest version. The 2003 server that will be the first dc is
already a member server running R2 with sp2.
