RE: [ActiveDir] Forestprep Failure

[WATSON, BEN]

To try and answer everyone’s question all at once… At this point, we don’t have Exchange running in our test environment, we do have copies of the servers there, but have not re-added them to the domain to bring them up.  I don’t think that having the actual Exchange servers online should really matter at this point since all that FORESTPREP is attempting to do is extend the schema which already contain the extensions that Exchange 2003 had made previously. Mark, yes, I am absolutely sure SFU had not been installed or more importantly, ever extended the schema.  Just to be sure, I contacted Microsoft this morning and requested the hotfix for it and when I ran it, it could not find the schema extensions SFU would have made. Could you elaborate a little more on what you mean by running Schema Admins empty?  At this point, I have my account added to the Schema Admins so I can (hopefully) perform the FORESTPREP. ~Ben   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mark Parris Sent: Thursday, July 06, 2006 1:42 PM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org; 'Mathieu CHATEAU' Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Forestprep Failure   Ben, Are you sure SFU has not been installed?

We are running in Windows 2000 native mode for domain and forest.  Exchange 2003 is also in native mode. And nice catch on SMS, I deployed it myself and should’ve remembered to mention that.  We do have SMS 2003 in our environment with the schema extended of course. ~Ben   From: Mathieu CHATEAU [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 06, 2006 11:21 AM To: WATSON, BEN Cc: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: Re: [ActiveDir] Forestprep Failure   Hello BEN,     are you in Windows 2000 native mode ? the forest too ? exchange native mode ?   Do you have SMS ? it extends the schema as well.     Cheers, Mathieu CHATEAU   Thursday, July 6, 2006, 7:43:21 PM, you wrote:   >  I am working to perform a domain upgrade from 2000 to 2003 R2 and I am running into problems right from the start when attempting an ADPREP /FORESTPREP.  The domain also has Exchange 2003 running as well.  Also, we have never extended the schema with Services for Unix 2.0 which I know can create some issues as well.   I am currently working in a test environment in which we took a recent full tape backup of one of our domain controllers, and restored it in a separate network.  As this is a test environment, this restored domain controller is the ONLY domain controller in existence and all FSMO roles have been transferred to it.   Here is the output from my ADPREP /FORESTPREP attempt.  I’m looking for assistance on how to fix these schema attributes so the FORESTPREP will be successful.  As I’m working in a test environment, I am afforded the ability to make the necessary changes and see what it breaks to determine what made these schema changes (if anything).   C:\WIN2K3R2\CMPNENTS\R2\ADPREP>adprep /forestprep   ADPREP WARNING:   Before running adprep, all Windows 2000 domain controllers in the forest should be upgraded to Windows 2000 Service Pack 1 (SP1) with QFE 265089, or to Windows 2000 SP2 (or later).   QFE 265089 (included in Windows 2000 SP2 and later) is required to prevent poten tial domain controller corruption.   For more information about preparing your forest and domain see KB article Q3311 61 at http://support.microsoft.com.   [User Action] If ALL your existing Windows 2000 domain controllers meet this requirement, type  C and then press ENTER to continue.
