adprep.exe /forestprep R2 on 2003 domain fails

We have two Windows Server 2003 domain controllers. An additional domain
controller is being setup that runs Windows Server 2003 R2.

I attempted to add the R2 server as a domain controller and got the error
leading me to run adprep.exe on the domain.

\CMPNENTS\R2\ADPREP\adprep.exe /forestprep

Everything seemed to go okay when I ran this on the current 2003 domain
controller.

When I check:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\NTDS\Parameters the
value on the System Schema Version is still 30, not 31 like it should be.

Checking the error logs I noticed this two seconds after I ran the adprep:
--------------------------------------------------------------ERROR START
Active Directory failed to construct a mutual authentication service
principal name (SPN) for the following domain controller.

Domain controller:
6004e163-0d4e-47bb-a43f-4d527ed54291._msdcs.bnpmedia.com

The call was denied. Communication with this domain controller might be
affected.

Additional Data
Error value:
8589 The DS cannot derive a service principal name (SPN) with which to
mutually authenticate the target server because the corresponding server
object in the local DS database has no serverReference attribute.
--------------------------------------------------------------ERROR END

I checked in DNS for the 6004e163-0d4e-47bb-a43f-4d527ed54291 entry but I
don't see it.

We had a domain controller die in the past and had to do some ugly seizing
the role stuff. Is this related?

Any thoughts on why the active directory didn't upgrade to the R2 version?

Hi

You need to run the forestprep switch in Schema master. You need to have
Enterpise/Schema admin credentials to run the forestprep switch

I hope that the information above helps you

Just a couple of questions about this whole process.

1) Can you run during the day without disturbing any users?
2) I assume you run on one of your current domain controllers?
3) Does this require a reboot of any of your domain controllers?

I have two domain controllers Windows 2003 Standard and would like to add a
third running Windows 2003 RS Standard. 

I would like to run it during business hours but don't want to affect
business.

Thanks for any responses.

I added the Enterprise Admin and Schema Admin groups to the membership. I
also ran dsquery server -hasfsmo schema from the command line on the domain
controller I'm trying to update. It returned the server that I am trying  to
do the adprep on.

When I login with my account and run the adprep.exe /forestprep I get the
prompt to hit C and then enter. I do this and the screen disappears but
nothing else happens. When I check the registry key it's still at 30 and not
31 (R2).

C:\>schupgr

Opened Connection to *omit*
SSPI Bind succeeded
Current Schema Version is 31
Upgrading schema to version 31
The schema has already been upgraded. Rerun setup to upgrade this DC.

That makes me think it's upgraded but the registry entry still says "System
Schema Version" 30

I successfully install Active Directory on the R2 machine. Not sure why the
registry key never changed.

Strange I have Schema Version = 31 under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\NTDS\Parameters

You can also verify the operating system support level of the schema by
using the Adsiedit.exe utility or the Ldp.exe utility to view the
objectVersion attribute in the properties of the
cn=schema,cn=configuration,dc=<domain> partition. The value of the System
Schema Version registry subkey and the objectVersion attribute are in
decimal.

System Schema Version ObjectVersion values and corresponding operating
system support level . 13=Microsoft Windows 2000
      . 30=Original release version of Microsoft Windows Server 2003 and
Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 (SP1)
      . 31=Microsoft Windows Server 2003 R2


What value do you have in there
