Hi, adprep Error: adprep.exe is valid but is for a machine type other than current machine 2003 Noh Thank you your assistance would be gr8

Presuming this is Exchange 2007 - you have two options. 1. If this is a single forest/ domain then you don't have to run prep seperately. 2. If this is a multiple domain/forest then download the 32 bit version of Exchange 2007 and use that. It is supported for prep only. Otherwise you will have to provide more information.

In a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 forest in which all domain controllers run only an x86-based version of Windows, you experience one of the following symptoms: · You cannot deploy a Windows Server 2003 R2 x64 Edition-based domain controller. · You cannot deploy Windows Server 2003 R2 schema-dependent features. This problem occurs because the x86-based version of the Active Directory Preparation tool (Adprep.exe) is not included in the Windows Server 2003 R2 x64 Edition installation media. Your expertise never fails to impress!
