Hello, and thanks for your assistance in advance. I have setup a windows 2008R2 server and am trying to implement it into an existing windows 2003 domain. As per my understanding, the first step is to make it an Active Directory domain controller. So I run the dcpromo wizard. That wizard fails with the following - "To install a domain controller into this active directory forest, you must first prepare the forest using adprep /forestprep. So I goto the utility located on the install CD, and run adprep /forestprep as admin. Get the following error: Adprep cannot run on this platform because it is not an active directory domain controller.
So it seems I have circular errors. Again, any suggestions greatly appreciated. I am not an AD expert.
Thanks.
