Sadly Schema Extension is a one way road. if you have only those two errors, you could change the values from TRUE to FALSE with ADSIedit and then rerun adprep.

Hi ibRasman,Please try the Maurizio's suggestion first, if the issue continues, you may try add the following registry value on the schema master.HKLM\system\CurrentControlSet\Services\NTDS\ParametersValue Name: Schema Update AllowedValue Type: REG_DWORDValue Data:1Rerun ADPREP /FORESTPREP. Does it work now? Please remember to remove the "Schema Update Allowed" registry value when finished.Regards,Wilson JiaThis posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.
