Why? I have read this before and couldn't pick up a reason for it other than "just do it...".     joe From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tony Murray Sent: Tuesday, October 11, 2005 3:33 PM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Forest prep/domain prep in a MT root Domain And you should always DomainPrep the forest root, irrespective of whether it contains Exchange servers or recipients....   Tony From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ed Crowley [MVP] Sent: Wednesday, 12 October 2005 7:02 a.m. To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Forest prep/domain prep in a MT root Domain It doesn't matter in which domain you run ForestPrep, so you might as well run it in the domain in which you're installing the Exchange servers.  You must run DomainPrep in any domain in which Exchange servers or recipients will reside, which usually means every domain in the forest.

From all my reading I don't think I run forest prep on the sub domain but do run domain prep on the MT root and on the sub domain. Am I correct....     john   This communication, including any attachments, is confidential.
