Is this a multi-domain forest you're prepping and are you performing the prep operation on the live network or had this DC been taken offline?

Sent: Thursday, September 18, 2003 9:05 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ActiveDir] problem running 2003 Server "adprep /forestprep" Tonight I tried running "adprep /forestprep" from the Server 2003 CD on my W2K/SP3 schema master to get ready to put up a 2003 server. The process stopped saying that the logged in account was not a member of the Enterprise Admins, the Schema Admins and the Domain Admins. Not true! I was logged in (at the console) on the DC that currently holds all of the FSMO roles (and has schema updates allowed on this computer) with the "Big Kahuna" account which certainly is a member of those groups (I double checked). I ran this command on our testbed virtually the same way and had no problems. While I will open a trouble ticket with Microsoft tomorrow, I was hoping to "hit the streets running" with additional information. Have any of you tried this and failed with a similar error? I am at a loss as to what is going on. Thanks for any info!
