Bringing in 2003 server to win 2000 Active Directory

[james_blake]

Hi

We are having some problems bringing in a 2003 server to an existing
2000 AD install. The error occurs when running DCPROMO on the 2003 box
errors saying that the Active Directory is not compatible, effectively
as if we hadnt run ADPrep.

We are running 2 Win2k servers with SP4 on. ADPrep for the forest and
domain have been run and completed sucessfully.

I have run netdiag and dc diag on the win2k box and it reports no
errors. I've been tempted to just run adprep again, but I am a little
cautious about doing so.

I've left it overnight just in case replication to the other DC was
incredibly slow, but still getting the same problem.

Anyone have any advice or suggestion.

Cheers

Blakey

Are you running R2? If so you need to go to disk 2 and use the adprep on
there.

Thanks mate, I trust they will be no issues running adprep a second
time?

None at all
