Hi Jacob
Is the Win2K box going to be a member server or a domain controller? If it
is a member server, just join it to the domain - you should not have to do
anything else. If it is meant as a domain controller and your domain is
not in W2K3 Functional Domain mode, it again can just be added and
DCPromoed (or DCPromoed before it is added) with no problems. In a W2K3
Functional Domain you will not be able to run DCPromo on it.
ADPrep just extends the AD Schema to allow the W2K3 settings into it. This
will only affect existing Domain Controllers at the time it is done - after
that any new DC joined to the domain will get the updated schema, and
member servers do not care about the AD schema themselves.

I think I know the answer to this but need some reassurance. I have a w2k3
domain and I need to join a w2k box to the domain, I don't have the license
for the upgrade yet. Do I have to run adprep on that w2k machine before I
join it to the domain or can I just run dcpromo and it will get all the
w2k3
settings it needs once it's joined?
Thanks
