I decide I would try searching the KB for "update /forestprep" then further refined it to "update.exe /forestprep" and came across the following exert from Q325316
"Download the latest Exchange 2000 Service Pack. From a command prompt at the I386\Setup folder of the service pack, run the update.exe /forestprep command. There is no difference between running forestprep from the service pack and running it from the installation CD-ROM. However, if forestprep is successful from the service pack, you know that your installation CD-ROM is damaged." Interesting since I too had heard that /forestprep and /domainprep should be run from the SP3 CD. -Matt Matthew Bailey LAN Engineer CSK Auto, Inc.
