Missing schxxx.ldf files when adprep/forrest prep 2000->2003

[Guest]

When you run adprep/forrest prep on a 2000 server to bring it up to a 2003
compatible database does the "Schxxx.ldf" files referenced in knowldege base
article Q325379 replicate themsleves from the schema master to all of the
DC's on the network. I currently have all the .ldf files referenced
appearing on my schema master where i performed the upgrade but all the DC's
that it replicates to do not have these files anywhere on the system.

Hi Dan,

Point 8: Search for new schema classes, objects, attributes, or other
changes that adprep /forestprep adds, such as inetOrgPerson. View the
SchXX.ldf files (where XX is a number between 14 and 30) in the
%systemroot%\System32 folder to determine what objects and attributes there
should be. For example, inetOrgPerson is defined in Sch18.ldf.

I believe this section is what you are referring to? You look in the *.ldf
for the objects/attributes, and those should be found when you query the
schema on any DC. The LDFs are not copied to the other DCs.
