Yes you do...same article. To prepare a Windows 2000 or Windows Server 2003 domain for Windows Server 2008
1. Identify the domain infrastructure operations master role holder as follows: * In the Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in, right-click the domain object, click Operations Masters, and then click Infrastructure. 2. Log on to the infrastructure master as a member of the Domain Admins group. 3. Insert the Windows Server 2008 DVD into the CD or DVD drive. Copy the content of the \sources\adprep folder to an Adprep folder on the infrastructure master. 4. Open a command prompt, and then change directories to the Adprep folder. 5. Type the following command, and then press ENTER: adprep /domainprep /gpprep From: Jon Harris [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 17, 2008 9:59 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: My First 2008 Server >From TechNet you don't need the adprep /domainprep http://technet2.microsoft.com/windowsserver2008/en/library/7120ec57-ad86-4369-af22-773ed9b097fc1033.mspx?mfr=true Jon On Thu, Jul 17, 2008 at 8:55 AM, Michael B.

My new server arrived yesterday, and it'll be my first 2008 server in a domain/forest that currently has all 2003 machines. I'll need to make it a DC, so I want to make sure I don't miss anything. Looking at a couple of TechNet articles, it looks like I need to run "adprep /forestprep" on the schema operations master and "adprep /domainprep /gpprep" on the infrastructure operations master server. Is that all?
