Guest John Posted August 23, 2007 Posted August 23, 2007 Hello all: We currently have two 2000 Server boxes and will be getting a 2003 x64 soon. I understand that to join the new box to the domain I will need to run adprep. However, is it sufficient to run the adprep from the 32-bit media, as the adprep available o the the x64 CD will obviously only run on a 64-bit machine/OS. The only guide I could find implied that what was necessary for the joining of this new computer is to run adprep /forestprep then adprep /domainprep. Is this all that is necessary? Are there any better how tos on this issue? Thanks.

This question has already been answered a lot of time... Do you plan to make this new server a DC ? If not ,you do not need to extend the schema. IF you plan to make it a DC: Download a 32 Bits edition to extend the schema/domain. Be sure to use the good version (R2 if your new server will be R2). -- Cordialement, Mathieu CHATEAU http://lordoftheping.blogspot.com "John" <John@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:9701868A-277B-4C8D-B055-42477ABC18E8@microsoft.com... > Hello all: > > We currently have two 2000 Server boxes and will be getting a 2003 x64 > soon. > I understand that to join the new box to the domain I will need to run > adprep.

Guest John Posted August 24, 2007 Posted August 24, 2007 Re: 2k3 adprep in 2000 Domain Thanks for the response. Yes, we plan on making the new server a DC. When we purchased SA, it came with the 32-bit 2k3 R2 so I suppose we will use this for extending the schema. Thanks a bunch. I will try to post in the correct forum next time.
