I have seen a few articles already on here about this, but have gone through them all and still have no luck. I have a 2000 environment with no 2003 domain controllers. All (3 Domain Controllers) are 2000. From what i can tell, one is our Operations Master (Schema Master) and one is our Infrastructure Master. We also have another Domain Controller. We have one 2003 member server. Trying to get the domain up to snuff with adprep. I have followed the instructions on preparation from start to finish for going from a 2000 to a 2003 schema , but keep getting the error: "Adprep was unable to extend the Schema" "There is a Schema Conflict with Exchange 2000. The Schema is not upgraded." The Microsoft article Q325379 isn't helping me any now. It was great up until the point of running adprep. My issue is two fold... We don't run Exchange in our environment. We had run 5.5 several years ago, but not 2000. We went with a hosted exchange system outside of the company. I cant check any logs in Debug as there is no folder or file created for my adprep. I am running adprep from cd 2. I have enabled Schema updates. I need help...and am totally lost here now. -- tanmar ------------------------------------------------------------------------ tanmar's Profile: [link] View this thread: [link][link] ...
