Re: Windows Server 2008 and adprep /forestprep

Problem solved! I was running adprep on the DC from the Windows Server 2003
R2 media. Instead, I used the adprep on the Windows Server 2008 media on the
2003 DC and everything is now working.

Thanks!

Thanks very much for the quick response... I just tried this and it didn't
have any effect on the existing DC, and the dialog still occurs on the 2008
machine:

-------------- BEGIN --------------
Z:\CMPNENTS\R2\ADPREP>adprep /domainprep
Running domainprep ...


Domain-wide information has already been updated.
[Status/Consequence]
Adprep did not attempt to rerun this operation.

Did you run "adprep /domainprep" on the active DC? I would do this and
re-try the 2008 server.
