Re: Server 2008 adprep

The link says:
In Windows Vista when you do a Start->All Programs->Accessories->Command > Prompt or Start->type cmd in the textbox above the start button, the
command prompt opens up with restricted priviledges even if you are logged on > as an Administrator.

Opening cmd in <= WS03 gives you the priviledges of the account you are
logged in with.

Opening cmd in Vista os WS08 without the checkbox will not give you admin
rights even if you are logged on as admin.
--------
the adprep.log exists, but does not contain a single character.

Hello richardb,

Did you check the Adprep.log file for errors?

"run as" in ws03 is not the same as an elevated command prompt in
vista /ws08. see

for additional information.

Nevertheless I tried run as with my schema admin account with the same
result.

Thanks for the quick reply.

AFAIK elevated command prompts are not available in WS03...

Have a look at your Vista DVD: /sources/adprep
You will find Schema Version 39 needed for Bitlocker support and
probably
other things that i don't know in detail.

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.

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
