This is similar to a post from last month, but I have a specific question
and I'm on a bit of a tight schedule. So please forgive me for starting a
new post.

I'm adding a Windows Server 2003 R2 system to a SBS2003 network. From an
earlier posting, I understand that I need to run adprep from the Windows
Server 2003 R2 disk 2.

My questions are:

1. Do I run adprep on the SBS box?

2. Do I need to run adprep /forestprep and adprep /domainprep?

Thanks in advance for your guidance (Susan).
