Microsoft recommends that you have
at least Service Pack (SP) 2 installed on your domain controllers
before running ADPrep. SP2 fixed a critical internal AD bug, which
can manifest itself when extending the schema. There were also some
fixes to improve the replication delay that can be seen when
indexing attributes.
Similar to the Exchange setup.exe
/forestprep and /domainprep switches.
-
The Exchange
/forestprep command extends the schema and adds some objects in
the Configuration Naming Context.
-
The Exchange /
domainprep command adds objects within the Domain Naming Context
of the domain it is being run on and sets some ACLs.
The ADPrep command
follows the same logic and performs similar tasks to prepare for the
upgrade to Windows Server 2003.
The ADPrep /forestprep
command extends the schema with quite a few new classes and
attributes. These new schema objects are necessary for the new
features supported by Windows Server 2003.
