Subject: ODD W2K3 DC DCPROMO Issue

All-

I have a customer who has 2 W2K3 DC's (DC01, DC02) running in their 
environment.  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?  

TIA,



John Bowles
