Re: Server 2008 adprep

Hello richardb,

Did you run it from a elevated command prompt? To open an elevated command prompt, click Start, right-click Command Prompt, and then click Run as administrator.

NEVER heard from a Schema update that comes with a workstation operating system like Vista, please can you clarify this.


Best regards

Hi all,

another one of my strange problems:

I have one DC - Windows Server 2003 R2 - and want to add a Windows
Server 2008 DC. When I run adprep /forestprep on my "old" DC the
server shows a blank line in the cmd window. (Now after 6 days looking
at this blank line I canceled this with Ctrl+C)

- I tried both adprep from the x86 and x64 discs (looks like they are
the
same)
- Oh yes, my AD works fine - I successfully extended my schema to
Version 39
(as included on the Vista RTM CD) that moment on the same server...
- I tried copying the adprep-Folder to my local disk and removing the
"read-only"attribute
Any idea how to extend my schema?

Richard
