Re: Adding Domain Controller

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry



Hello attrib75,

Please post the complete output from "schupgr" and "netdom query fsmo" from the DC where you try to upgrade the schema. Additional check that the files exist on the disc where you run the adprep command from. Did you try to copy the files to the harddrive and run it locally?

Best regards

Adprep was unable to copy file C:\WINDOWS\schema.in_ from installation
point to local machine under directory C:\WINDOWS.

[User Action]

Check the log file Adprep.log in the system root
System32\Debug\Adprep\Logs directory for more information.

Adprep encountered a Win32 error.

Error code: 0x2 Error message: The system cannot find the file

Make sure you run adprep.exe under the directory that contains the
following files: schema.ini, sch*.ldf, dcpromo.cs_ and 409.cs_. The
recommended way is running adprep.exe from installation media, such as
CD-ROM or network share. Check the log file Adprep.log in the system
root System32\Debug\Adprep\Logs directory for more information.
