Title: Windows 2003 AD

If you run forest prep on the parent domain, this will modify your schema.  Which you may or may not want.  It will not hurt if you run forest prep on the parent and then run domain prep on the child domain.  This will provide the necessary infrastructure needed for the child as well as, the parent when you decide to upgrade to Windows 2003.  Why do you want the child domain upgrade before your parent?  It does not seem logical or safe.   S   ***************************************** Steve Shaff Active Directory / Exchange Administrator Corillian Corporation (W) 503.629.3538 (C) 503.807.4797 (F) 503.629.3674   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dave Sayers Sent: Friday, September 26, 2003 2:14 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Windows 2003 AD   Just a quick clarification – the child domain could run in Windows Server 2003 Domain Mode (as long as all DCs are 2003), but the parent domain cannot, and the forest can’t be raised to Windows 2003 Forest Mode.   Cheers Dave   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Steve Shaff Sent: 26 September 2003 16:35 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Windows 2003 AD   There is no problem in doing that, but you will not have the infrastructure in place on the parent to take advantage of the Child’s domain infrastructure.   ***************************************** Steve Shaff Active Directory / Exchange Administrator Corillian Corporation (W) 503.629.3538 (C) 503.807.4797 (F) 503.629.3674   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Salandra, Justin A.
