| I need to add a W2K3 DC to my existing domain which is only one W2K
server,
| we do not run Exchange so the set up should be straight forward but
Adprep
| /forestprep is failing with the following:
|
| "attributeSyntax" attribute value for objects defined in Windows 2000
schema
| and
| extended schema do not match.
|
|
| A previous schema extension has defined the attribute value as "2.5.5.4"
for
| obj
| ect "CN=uid,CN=Schema,CN=Configuration,DC=mydomain,DC=com" differently
than
| the schema extension needed for Windows 2003 server .
| [Status/Consequence]
| Adprep cannot extend your existing schema
| [User Action]
| Contact the vendor of the application that previously extended the schema
to
| res
| olve the inconsistency. Then run adprep again.
|
| All the documentation I can find points to Exchange being the usual
reason
| for this error but as we have never installed Exchange that is not
possible.
| Any idea anyone?
|
| Thanks, Lou
