Hi,

I have 2 domain controller W2000 in Active Directory.

First one: W2000 SP4 + Exchange SP3
Second one: W2000 SP4

I wanna add a W2003 R2 to my Active Directory.

I use the command: adprep /forestprep from my cd2 of W2003 R2 on the
first W2000 server who is GC as well to update ,my AD schema but I got
this error :


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ADPREP WARNING:

Before running adprep, all Windows 2000 domain controllers in the
forest should be upgraded to Windows 2000 Service Pack 1 (SP1) with QFE
265089, or to Windows 2000 SP2 (or later).

QFE 265089 (included in Windows 2000 SP2 and later) is required to
prevent potential domain controller corruption.

For more information about preparing your forest and domain see KB
article Q331161 at http://support.microsoft.com.

[User Action]

If ALL your existing Windows 2000 domain controllers meet this
requirement, type C and then press ENTER to continue. Otherwise, type
any other key and press ENTER to quit.

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.

Is the account running this action in the schema admins group?  Does the
machine that you are running on hold the schema fsmo role?

Check out my article on upgrading from 2000 to 2003

http://www.pbbergs.com
Select articles, select upgrading your forest from 2000 to 2003

Note in particluar the "Mangled Attributes"  this is something you ned to
pay particualr attention to.

have you fixed the iNetOrgPerson issue?

why?

because it says:

"There is a schema conflict with Exchange 2000. The schema is not upgraded"


have a look at:
http://blogs.dirteam.com/blogs/jorge/archive/2005/11/19/110.aspx

and specific to:
MS-KBQ325379_How to Upgrade Windows 2000 Domain Controllers to Windows
Server 2003 (http://support.microsoft.com/?id=325379

ADVISE: first do the homework (read the articles), then extend the schema
and upgrade

because you used the SP1/R2 version of ADPREP it prevented to create mangled
attributes. if you had used the SP0 it would have updated the schema and
create mangled attributes

Cheers,
(HOPEFULLY THIS INFORMATION HELPS YOU!)

As already mentioned, there are a couple of things going on.

First, look into fixing the 'mangled attributes' issue.  There is a ton of
documentation on this.

Then, make sure that you are using adprep from the second CD (assuming that
you are) and that you are using an account that is a member of the Schema
Admins group.

Also, take the following MSKB Article as a guide line...

I found the error !!!

I found how to solve my problem on this page
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=314649 on scenario 2.

The problem was that I used the "Inetorgperson Kit" from Microsoft
W2000. This package content the file "inetorgperson-fix.ldf". This file
doesn't content the value "HouseIdentifier".

It means that this LDF file doesn't work in my case.

I copy the script from the link http://support.microsoft.com/?id=314649
in a file titled "inetorgpersonprevent.ldf"

Then I run the command: ldifde -i -f inetorgpersonprevent.ldf -v -c
DC=X "dn path for forest root domain"

but it didn't work.

I had to check with "ADSI Edit" (found in the Microsoft 2000 Support
Tools) the values from the script in my Active Directory.

Finally, I found that the value "HouseIdentifier" had a wrong
displayname.

Before: HouseIdentifier
Now: msExchHouseIdentifier

Thanks to all people who help me to get throught this matter.

Mymy :)

I was able to resolve this problem by upgrading the forest schema to Exchange 2003 first:

1) From the Exchange 2003 CD:  setup.exe /forestprep
2) From the Windows 2003 CD: adprep.exe /forestprep

(Note that Step 2 was failing initially with this error:

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 c
onflict, allow the change to replicate between all replication partners, and the
n run Adprep. For information on resolving the conflict, see Microsoft Knowledge
Base article Q325379.) -- Carl Voellmecke ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Carl Voellmecke's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/84194.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/active-directory/526753.htmhttp://forums.techarena.in
