It's not required as a separate step - I just like to separate them. 'Cuz they are separate operations.
But that's just me. J Regards, Michael B.

My new server arrived yesterday, and it'll be my first 2008 server in a domain/forest that currently has all 2003 machines. I'll need to make it a DC, so I want to make sure I don't miss anything. Looking at a couple of TechNet articles, it looks like I need to run "adprep /forestprep" on the schema operations master and "adprep /domainprep /gpprep" on the infrastructure operations master server. Is that all?
