Adprep /domainprep fails upgrading to Windows 2003......

[Robert Guadagnoli]

I have one DC for this forest/domain. It naturally has all the roles and the
sysvol and dit are installed in their default locations on the server. Very
basic stuff. I ran adprep /forestprep on this server just fine. When I ran
adprep /domainprep, I got the below errors, which dont make sense given the
configuration of this server. Has anyone else seen anything like this? I
cannot upgrade the server until I get adprep /domainprep to complete
successfully.

Adprep was unable to complete because the call back function (null) failed.

[Status/Consequence]

Error message: Windows cannot determine the local sysvol location. Upgrade
of Domain Group Policy Objects failed. (The system cannot find the file
specified. )

Can you access your sysvol, by typing \\yourdomain.whatever\sysvol in
explorer ? Can you verify, that sysvol is shared ? Any errors in your event
log ? run dcdiag and netdiag on your system.

Sysvol is shared correctly, default, and I can get to it from any machine.
DCdaig and net diag all run fine.

I installed service pack 4 and still no luck, same error.
