If the forest prep is done, are there any problems if a child domain is built as a windows 2003 domain while the rest of the forest is still in windows 2000? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Steve Shaff Sent: Tuesday, April 06, 2004 4:02 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Updating Schema to Windows 2003 Forest Prep will prepare your forests for the Windows 2003 upgrade. IT will also expand your schema at that time. S -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Salandra, Justin A.

It even gives you the steps to perform that you can copy/paste. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Steve Shaff Sent: Tuesday, April 06, 2004 1:19 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Updating Schema to Windows 2003 I am not aware of any KB articles, but here are the steps that were performed on our upgrade. The forest and domains are prepared by using the adprep command on the schema operations master and infrastructure operations master, respectively. (25min) * At a command prompt, change to the \I386 directory on the installation media and then type: d:\i386\adprep /forestprep * When prompted, type 'C', and then press ENTER to begin forest preparation, or type any other key, and then press ENTER to cancel. * After the forest preparation data has replicated throughout the forest, prepare the domains for Windows Server 2003 as described below. The domain preparation operation must be performed on the infrastructure operations master of each domain in the forest. (no reboot necessary) Prepare an Active Directory domain for Windows Server 2003: (4min) * On the domain controller holding the infrastructure operations master role * At a command prompt, change to the \I386 directory on the installation media, and then type: d:\i386\adprep /domainprep * After the domain preparation data has replicated throughout the domain, upgrade the domain controller by running Windows Server 2003 Setup (I386\winnt32.exe on the installation media). (no reboot necessary) * Specify Upgrade from menu options * Enter Corporate CD Key * Update Setup Files from Microsoft (system reboots) * Setup will now prepare the installation * Installing Windows * Finishing Installation (system reboots) o Total Install Time: 2 hours 10 minutes Hope this helps.
