Forestprep for Server 2003
in [Active Directory]
|
From: mec on 3 Nov 2009 14:58 Hello, I have a Windows 2000 domain with Exchange 2000 running on DCs. I attempted to run adprep /forestprep and got this error: There is a schema conflict with Exchange 2000. It referred me to KB325379. Those changes have already been made, so I kept searching, and found KB917682. I folowed it and modified the Home-Sync-Service and Child-Sync-Agreements attributes from the Exchange 2003 CD. Here's my question. The instructions I have say to run ADPrep /Forestprep, then ADPrep /DomainPrep from the 2003 server CD, then Setup /ForestPrep and Setup DomainPrep from the Exchange 2003 CD. Since ADPrep won't run, is that necessary? Do I need to run ADPrep /ForestPrep and DomainPrep or can I just run Setup /ForestPrep followed by Setup/DomainPrep? Thanks!

The biggest problem i know, with upgrading the schema for 2003 when Exchange 2000 is running, is this: http://support.microsoft.com/?id=314649 Also preparing the AD for 2003 with the adprep from 2003 is a different one from the Exchange preparation.

From: mec on 4 Nov 2009 13:15 Hi Meinolf, Thanks for your reply. Here is the entire message: Adprep was unable to extend the schema. [Status/Consequence] There is a schema conflict with Exchange 2000. The schema is not upgraded. [User Action] The schema conflict must be resolved before running adprep. Resolve the schema conflict, allow the change to replicate between all replication partners, and then run Adprep. For information on resolving the conflict, see Microsoft Knowledge Base article Q325379. I've already made the changes that 314649 refers to. I understand that the 2 adpreps are different; I was just asking if there is a particular order that they should be run in. Thanks!

Have you check the suggestions that 325379 (as referenced in the error message) has? Have you confirmed the changes have replicated?

Hi Florian, Yes, I made the changes the 325379 suggest. They involve changing 2 attributes in a file so you can run setup /forestprep from the Exchange 2003 CD. My question is if I can run that before running Adprep /forestprep. Thanks!
