ADPREP /DOMAINPREP /GPPREP

Hello,

Just preparing my W2K3 AD schema for W2K8 DC's. I did this in my test lab
and everything seems ok. Upgraded AD schema in production and when reviewing
the ADPrep.logs my log when I did /domainprep /gpprep is different than in my
test environment. The log file from the test environment is bigger and I can
see it upgrading GPO's, but in the production log I don't see any GPO's being
upgraded. Log says everything was ok. I've attached the logs below. Is there
anything wrong witht the production environment? Maybe because I run GPMC in
production the GPO's are already upgraded (just a guess). Here are the steps
I ran for both environments...

adprep32.exe /forestprep
adprep32.exe /domainprep
adprep32.exe /domainprep /gpprep
