So it's not like other databases where you don't want people logged in during schema updates? I was just covering my behind in making sure that users accessing resources in AD wouldn't cause issues. When we did our first forest prep in our test lab, it failed. But when we ran it again, it worked. Only difference was, the first time, we were goofing around with AD (checking permissions, creating new users, etc)
I guess I'm just a tad bit nervous. This has to work on the first try or we will have some pretty ticked off directors.

Replication of the changes could take weeks depending on the environment. It took about 60 minutes for me to install and configure E2K including forestprep and domainprep in my lab last night. Course I've done it once or twice before...
