urgent - moving from 2kAD to 03 AD

[scott]

Hi,

I have a 2k ad network with 3 servers.

D = dc with 2k + ad
S = 2k with exchange 2000
B = 2003 member server

I have upgraded exchange 2000 on S to exchange 2003 (still runs 2k as OS).
As part of this i run forrest prep and domain prep.

I have also just added machine B (2003 member server). The idea is to make
this the new domain controller on an 2003 AD domain.

Do i simply need to run DOMAIN PREP then DCPROMO on B now to upgrade to 2003
AD domain ?

Many thanks
Scott

you'll need to run both:

adprep /forestprep
adprep /domainprep
