Hi,

We are trying to create another domain(windows 2003) into an existing
forest(windows 2000, this root domain is currently in native mode)

Is it possible to do that? When we are trying to create, the operation is
failed with an advise : "use adprep to prepare both domain and forest."

thank in advance ,

Ertan
 
To introduce WS2k3 domain into w2k forest, you have to upgrade schema of the
forest. You have to issue
adprep /forestprep to upgrade forest schema. No need to run adprep /domain
prep as you are introducing a new domain to your forest. You would have to
issue adprep /domain prep if you were introducing WS2k3 to existing W2k
domain.
