ADPrep: problems adding a 2003DC to a W2K AD

[Chris R.]

One for the maestros....

The setup: Got a Win2000-SP4 AD forest\tree w/one DC in
the root domain and one DC in the child domain. Also,
Exchange 2003 is installed on a member server which is a
member of the root domain.

Before I do anything I run netdiag and dcdiag on both DCs,
and that look good.

What I want to do is add a second DC to one of the
domains... so, in preparation for a Win2003E DC in one of
the domains, I run the ADPrep util. on the Schema master
DC as the Schema / Enterprise / Domain Administrator. The
ADPrep utility got about 2/3 of the way thru updating the
schema before it finished with an error message. Below are
the error messages (found in three log files) that the
ADPrep utility suggested I have a look at, just following
the attemted schema expansion. (The log-files have been
edited to show only the errors.)

Bottom line is... I cannot add a Win2003E DC into an
existing W2K AD domain.

Thanks in advance for any assistance!
