Dean - given all that, why not just do the whole ADPrep /forestprep and /domainprep ? Even if the domain stays Win2K forever, would there be any harm in doing so? From what I've seen, there isn't. I guess the question is, why is it more acceptable (to your customer) to do a subset of these

I'm not the expert either, but I do have some experience with this. Normally, like Rick said, GUIDs are simply assigned by the system upon object creation. SchemaIDGUID is kind of a special case, though - it's the GUID of the classSchema or attributeSchema object itself. If you ever want to

The extensions installed by the Exchange2K forestprep process DO include items that are part of the PAS, so it will trigger a complete GC replication. This may or may not be a big deal, depending on your topology and how much bandwidth you have to spare. In a single-domain forest, all DCs
