Hello , I'm trying to add a new windows 2008 r2 DC to an existing win 2008 forest but when I run dcpromo on the new win 2008 r2 DC the wizard invite me to prepare the domain on the schema master with adprep /forestprep , so i copy all the support folder on the schema master(win 2008 standard) and i execute the command but nothing happens... the command remain in execution with no action and no errors... what's wrong? thanx for support

Hello, please assure to use the correct adprep version. On Windows server 2008 R2 you'll find adprep.exe (64bit) and adprep32.exe(32bit) and i assume that you have Windows server 2008 32bit installed.Best regards Meinolf Weber MVP, MCP, MCTS Microsoft MVP - Directory Services My Blog: http://msmvps.com/blogs/mweber/ Disclaimer: This posting is provided AS IS with no warranties or guarantees and confers no rights.
