Adprep /domainprep errors

[Guest]

While trying to prepare to introduce a W2K3 server/DC inot my exisiting
network, I ran both adprep /Forestprep (no problems) and adprep /domainprep.
domain prep returned an error when trying to create the following:



Adprep was about to call the following LDAP API. ldap_search_s(). The base
entry to start the search is

information.

I have already used the KB article 314649 and it was of no assistance as
there were no mangled schema entries

Any ideas or help would be appreciated

Did you wait for replication to happen before you did the /domainrep part?
This is the only thing I can think of, especially since /forestprep worked.

Michael,

What roles was the DC on which you were running adprep /domainprep? There
are very specific roles for the server and rights for the user that must be
correct for these to run. In my experience, this is the reason adprep
usually fails.

Verify the roles with dcdiag and make sure that you are on the IM role
holder.

Yes there are, the infrastructure master is where you run adprep /domain prep
and the schema master is where you run adprep /forestprep.

BTW, if you try to run either on the wrong server, it will tell you that it
can only be run on so and so. It wont even start much less fail
