Thanks for the reply Ed.
The server which I presume to be the schema master is running fine, no
bad event logs (this was the first AD server we built).
NTDSUTIL should confirm that it is the schema master - right? Or is
there an easier way?
Regarding permissions, I'm using the account which ran forestprep and
domainprep without fault, so I'm tempted to rule out any issues there.
Any other ideas? MS don't seem to have this particular error documented
anywhere...
