I think he was mistaking you running W2K3 domain prep with you running E2K domain prep.
If you have the reskit loaded, run whoami /groups to see if those groups for sure show up in your token. If you don't have reskit, go to wwww.joeware.net and download sectok from the free win32 tools page and run that to verify if you have those groups in your token. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Thommes, Michael M.

The process stopped saying that the logged in account was not a member of the Enterprise Admins, the Schema Admins and the Domain Admins. Not true! I was logged in (at the console) on the DC that currently holds all of the FSMO roles (and has schema updates allowed on this computer) with the "Big Kahuna" account which certainly is a member of those groups (I double checked). I ran this command on our testbed virtually the same way and had no problems. While I will open a trouble ticket with Microsoft tomorrow, I was hoping to "hit the streets running" with additional information. Have any of you tried this and failed with a similar error? I am at a loss as to what is going on. Thanks for any info!
