Hello,
I believe you can run adprep /forestprep with SP4 installed.
Microsoft recommends that all the Windows 2000 domain controllers run the
Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 (SP4) or later operating systems. If you cannot
fully deploy Windows 2000 SP4 or later, all the Windows 2000 domain
controllers <must> have an Ntdsa.dll file whose date stamp and version is
later than June 4th, 2001 and 5.0.2195.3673.
Please refer to the following article for more details.
325379 How to upgrade Windows 2000 domain controllers to Windows Server 2003
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=325379
In addition, there are mainly three concerning vulnerabilities in KB 331161.
1. Schema Additions Delete Columns from the Database and Domain Controllers
Cannot Be Started
2. Inefficient Replication of Schema Changes Consumes Network Bandwidth
3. Active Directory Replication Is Delayed During the Index-Rebuilding
Process
In the related KB, I find these problems are corrected if you have SP4
installed.
Snippet: Vulnerability 1.
303077 SP2 Hotfixes Recommended Before Making Schema Changes in Active
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=303077
Please note the contents below:
Individual Windows 2000 domain controllers are not susceptible to the
timing sensitive deletion of Active Directory objects if Windows 2000
Service Pack 2 (SP2) is installed. Then Domain controllers, and implicitly
the forest, are protected.
Snippet: Vulnerability 2.
300642 Schema Modification Results in Schema Mismatch Event 1203 Message
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=300642
The problem is resolved in SP3
Snippet: Vulnerability 3.
307219 Replication Stops After Active Directory Schema Update
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=307219
The problem is resolved in SP3
Regarding the part of Windows 2000 SP3 Advantages and Issues, I find most
the problems are fixed in SP4 except the following two issues:
324906 Cannot Start an Office Program After You Install Service Pack 3 (SP3)
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=324906
Some Windows 2000 SMB Redirector Hotfixes May Cause a Conflict with SP3
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=326798
You can decide whether to consider them or not based on your real
environment.
Hope it helps. Any update, let us get in touch!
