/forestprep and had no problems but when i try to run the adprep /domainprep
i get the error "adprep was unable to check the domain update status" and
""adprep encountered an LDAP error {Error code: 0x20. Server extended error
code 0x208d, Server error message:0000208D: nameErr: DISID-031001bd , problem
2001 (NO_OBJECT), data 0, best match of: CN=Servers,CN=Default-First-Site,
CN=Sites, CN=Configuration, DC=abccorp, DC=abc DC=com' so what is this
telling me????????? i tried to run adprep /forestprep again but isaid that
it has allready run so it stoped any help would be greatly apreicated. what
i want to do is add the 2003k as a backup dc then than transfer the FSMO
roles and remove the old system from the domain
thanks in advance for any help.
 
Try running netdiag, repadmin and dcdiag. Look for fail, error and warning
errors.

If you don't have the tools installed load them from your install disk.

d:\i386\adminpak.msi (Server tools for remote management of servers)
d:\support\tools\setup.exe (Server Utilities)

Copy the following to a cmd file and run look for error, fail and warn
within the reports. Post any errors you can't figure out. make sure you
modify DC_Name to the name of a dc in your domain.

@echo off

c:
cd \
cd "program files\support tools"

del c:\dcdiag.log
dcdiag /e /c /v /s:DC_Name /f:c:\dcdiag.log
start c:\dcdiag.log

netdiag.exe /v > c:\netdiag.log
start c:\netdiag.log

repadmin.exe /showrepl dc* /verbose /all /intersite > c:\repl.txt
start c:\repl.txt

here are the results

script had errors and would not run so i tried it one line at a time
dcdiag found
passed replications
passed topology
pased cutoffservers
passed NCSecCesc
passed netlogons
failed test KnowsOfRoleHolders (found reference to an old dc that was
removed years ago) ?????????
failed RidManager (same reference to old dc )gave me a CID number do i need
to delete this from the registry?????????
passed MachineAcount
a few services are stopped (IsmServ,TrkWks,TrkSvr,IISADMIN and SMTPSVC)

all other tests passed
netdiag.exe [FATAL] Failed to get system information of this machine
repadmin.exe gave a usage error [did not like the syntax or something]

thanks
 
Ok it sounds like you might not have a fsmo role holder that is currently up
and running.

per the KB http://support.microsoft.com/Default.aspx?kbid=839879 get the
info but hold off on the resolution

basically I'm wondering about your rid master for starters, post the rid
feedback in here. I will be gone for a couple of hours but will check up on
it when I get back.

I am having the same problem and it was suggested that I view this posting
string. when I run dcdiag i get the following result.
D:\I386>dcdiag

Domain Controller Diagnosis

Performing initial setup:
Done gathering initial info.

Doing initial required tests

Testing server: Default-First-Site-Name\MCS_SERVER2
Starting test: Connectivity
MCS_SERVER2's server GUID DNS name could not be resolved to an
IP address. Check the DNS server, DHCP, server name, etc
Although the Guid DNS name
(f7e23a0a-e7f4-4d97-be3f-47abec878a50._msdcs.MCS) couldn't be
resolved, the server name (MCS_SERVER2.MCS) resolved to the IP
address
(192.168.0.4) and was pingable. Check that the IP address is
registered correctly with the DNS server.
......................... MCS_SERVER2 failed test Connectivity

Doing primary tests

Testing server: Default-First-Site-Name\MCS_SERVER2
Skipping all tests, because server MCS_SERVER2 is
not responding to directory service requests

Running enterprise tests on : MCS
Starting test: Intersite
......................... MCS passed test Intersite
Starting test: FsmoCheck
......................... MCS passed test FsmoCheck
I dont know if the same thing is going on for both of us but it sounds close.
Thanks for any help you can give.

It appears you are going to need to transfer the rid fsmo role for starters.

You will have to seize it, follow the directions in the KB below, under
Seize FSMO roles.

on a whim i tried to run the adprep /domainprep again, "this time it worked"
so i went ahead an did the dcpromo onthe 2k3 server !!!!!!!!success!!!!!!!
..Is there any thing that i need to look out for and will i have to transfer
the roles to the new server or is that done automatic??? I still plan to
remove the old pdc .

thanks again for all your help
:
 
It will happen automatically. Once you have demoted the old server just run
a dcdiag again to make sure things look good.
