2003 forestprep error

[Jim]

We have a 2000 native mode forest with 13 child domains. We ran forestprep
for the 2003 upgrade today. No errors on the Schema Master where it was run
from. All other DC's had several similar 1153 warnings like "655562 (class
name msWMI-MergeablePolicy Template) has an invalid superclass 655560.
Inheritance ignored.". I can't find anything on these warnings. Anyone
know what they are?

Hello Jim,

Thank you for your post.

This message appears when a class is replicated before its super class
schema is replicated. The condition clears up after the replication cycle
completes. In General situation, this message can be safely ignored.

More Information:
==============
This behavior occurs because the schema is imported in an order other than
superclass inheritance. When a class is imported, superclass attributes
point to other classes. Because these may not have been imported yet, you
see these errors in the application event log.

That's what it looked like to me. It didn't appear serious since the
infrastructure master and the logs form the changes were all successful. I
didn't see these on any previous test domains. Thanks for the confirmation.
