If I'm reading the Microsoft instructions correctly, all you have to run FRS is 2003 with SP1. Am I wrong, people? I am aware that DFS will require R2...
FYI, none of the servers in question are running 2003R2.

You need to upgrade to schema v31 (r2) if so. If not I tend to think your DNS is busted. Thanks, Brian Desmond [EMAIL PROTECTED] c - 312.731.3132 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Steve Egan (Temp) Sent: Monday, January 15, 2007 8:51 PM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: [ActiveDir] File replication setup problem Howdy, Brain Trust: I have two servers, one on Poland, the other in Sweden, that I want to install FRS on (and later "upgrade" to DFS) so that I can back up these remote location files locally on a high-speed offsite backup here in the States. I'm attempting to go slow and do a little bit at a time. When I Run the New Replication Group Wizard and name the replication group and hit Next, the following error happens: "<company.com>: The Active Directory schema on domain controller <ftp server>.<domain.com> cannot be read. This error might be caused by a schema that has not been extended, or was extended improperly. See Help and Support Center for information about extending the Active Directory schema. A class schema object cannot be found." I've tried and tried to extend the schema, the results are normal (no errors), and still the AD schema is broken. It swears up and down that it is a 2003 schema. I can't install AD on the Sweden server because something ain't right with it (schema), and now this. I have two servers running here in the states as DC's, and they both think they are the "top dog" controller because whenever I try to do something like this it tells me the schema is broken. The FTP server and the mail server are both set up as DC's, both have AD on them. How do I tell one of them that they are no longer the master? Can I just delete (remove) the AD schema from the ftp server and reinstall it without serious breakage? I'm not sure that a simple demote will do the trick. I'm enough of a thumb-fingered idiot when it comes to AD that I live in fear of really screwing the pooch if I do something like this - but I have to get it solved somehow.
