so you did adprep /forestprep adprep /domainprep adprep /domainprep /gpprep ??? You'll know it worked when you dcpromo the new 2008 server into a domain controller role and you don't get any error about the forest not being prepared Erik Goldoff IT Consultant Systems, Networks, & Security ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ From: James Kerr [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, July 22, 2009 3:34 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: adprep when adding first 2008 server I ran the adprep executable from the 64bit CD and it seems to have updated, there were no errors anyway.

The changes that the code makes to AD shouldn't have anything to do with the version. In other words, the only difference between the adprep executable on the 32bit version vs the 64bit version, is that one is compiled for 32bit systems and the other is compiled for 64bit systems. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Erik Goldoff [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, July 22, 2009 3:24 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: adprep when adding first 2008 server I can't say for 100% but I'd think not .... since you can mix 64 bit and 32 bit servers, as long as they have the same AD version .... Check for the highest numbered schxx.ldf file on the media with the diskprep... I'll find mine on the 32bit version media, and I'll bet they're the same ... I seriously doubt the schema is 32 bit or 64 bit dependent ...

The 2003 only goes to sch30.ldf and 2003r2 only goes to sch31.ldf !

I want to make the 2008 server a domain controller. Which adprep should I be running on the existing servers? The one for 2003 or the one for 2008 or are they the same?
