Ran the ADPrep last nite around 10pm ... gave it an hour and got this error ... so logged out, and tried dcpromo again this morning after a good 8 hours + time for replication to finish, and same error. Replication status shows all success, no errors

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 ???
