Don't try and finagle a way around the issue. Fix the replication problem between the domains. It will cause you great distress further down the road.

It says that ForestPrep has not been run on the server, therefore it cannot run DomainPrep. However, the server is not part of the root domain, therefore ForestPrep cannot be run on it. The problem exists that the server has still not replicated the schema changes from the root domain. This is why I was wondering if there was another way to force the issue. I have also not seen any information anywhere about why the server would not be able to replicate schema between itself and the root domain, even though the root is mixed and this is native. Do those two exist in such a different way that the schema cannot be replicated between them? -----Original Message----- From: Roger Seielstad [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, August 22, 2003 12:23 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Replication and Schema problem ForestPrep is just that - forest wide. Its all or nothing. I'm guessing you didn't run DomainPrep in this domain - and that IS domain specific, and needs to be run in each domain hosting Exchange servers (or users, IIRC). -------------------------------------------------------------- Roger D.
