OK, to get back on the topic, this one has taken a weird twist :
Ran ADPREP /Forestprep ( and /domainprep ) on the Win2000 DC (schema
master) with successful completion messages
but running DCPromo on the Win2003 server against this domain errors out :
The operation failed because:
The Active Directory Installation Wizard cannot continue because the forest
is not prepared for installing Windows Server 2003. Use the Adprep
command-line tool to prepare both the forest and the domain ......
"The version of the Active Directory schema of the source forest is not
compatible with the version of Active Directory on this computer."
Three DCs at this site, all show proper replication, event logs show
nothing relevant, attempt to rerun adprep show
"Forest-wide information has already been updated "
Anybody run across this before ???
Thanks
