Ken,   Thanks for the reply – your answer pretty much fits in with what I had intended to do.  Once the replication is out to all DCs – then anything that needed to work with the extended schema could – is that correct?  Or am I reading between the lines?   R/Bill   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of Adams, Kenneth W (Ken) Sent: Tuesday, August 10, 2004 8:52 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] W2K SCHEMA EXTEND   If you read the upgrade documentation for W2K3, you will find that you have to extend the forest schema before you install the first W2K3 DC.  Extend the schema on the empty root domain with the forestprep option, then allow sufficient time for the schema extension to replicate through ALL DCs in your forest.

Is it possible for me to extend the forest schema [presume from the empty root] by running W2K3 forestprep and staying at the current W2K? R/Bill
