Austin,
The upgrade is not for a x64 system. I am upgrading to Win2K R2. The link
below explained exactly what to do! The "adprep" I had used earlier, was from
Win2K Enterprise edition and did not work properly. The Win2KR2 version fixed
it.
Thank you very much for all the help!

Hi Ravi,
How about "write enabling" the Schema Master?
Was that done?

Hi Ravi,
What account are you using to perform this procedure?
Are you a member of the schema admins group?
Have you "write enabled" the schema?
