Let me make sure I'm clear on one other thing... Adprep comes on the Server 2008 disk, but I don't actually run it on the Server 2008 machine, right? Do I put that disk in my Server 2003 DC and run it from there?

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?
