Are you using the same media you used for the previous DCs, or are you using the R2 media?

They want to add a new DC and retire one of the previous DC’s mentioned. Well, when I run DCPROMO on DC03 it throws me an error message saying I need to run ADprep because the forest is not prepped. Then it proceeds to tell me to run Forestprep and Domain Prep. Has anyone ran into this issue before where there are already 1 or more W2K3 DC’s and when you add another it’s saying the forest isn’t prepped for a W2K3 DC?
