ADPrep /forestprep failed 2000 to 2003 r2

Kelly · 04-09-2008

I'm running ADPrep on my 2000 DC and I get almost complete and I get an
error.

Here is a copy of error part in the ADPrep.log file.

Adprep checked to verify whether operation cn=26ad2ebf-f8f5-44a4-b97c-
a616c8b9d09a,cn=Operations,cn=ForestUpdates,CN=Configuration,DC=crdius,D
C=local has completed.

[Status/Consequence]

The operation GUID already exists so Adprep did not attempt to rerun
this operation but is continuing.

Adprep was about to call the following LDAP API. ldap_search_s(). The
base entry to start the search is cn=4444c516-f43a-4c12-9c4b-
b5c064941d61,cn=Operations,cn=ForestUpdates,CN=Configuration,DC=xxxx,DC=
local.

LDAP API ldap_search_s() finished, return code is 0x20

Adprep verified the state of operation cn=4444c516-f43a-4c12-9c4b-
b5c064941d61,cn=Operations,cn=ForestUpdates,CN=Configuration,DC=xxxx,DC=
local.

[Status/Consequence]

The operation has not run or is not currently running. It will be run
next.

Adprep was unable to complete because the call back function (null)
failed.

[Status/Consequence]

schema master in order to complete this operation.

[User Action]

Check the log file, Adprep.log, in the C:\WINNT\system32\debug\adprep
\logs\20080903150106 directory for more information.

Any help on this error would be great.

Hello Kelly,

Make sure you run the adprep command with an account that is member of the
schema administrators on the schema master itself. Also make sure that you
can write to the schema. Please post the output from this command "netdom
query fsmo" without the qoutes from the command prompt. If the netdom command
is not found install the tools/support/suptools.msi from the 2000 installation
disk.

Best regards

Verify that you did the update from disk 2 of your server disks.

Here is a copy of the netdom query like you asked for.

C:\Program Files\Support Tools>netdom query fsmo
Schema owner crdi-ad.xxxx.local
Domain role owner crdi-ad.xxxx.local
PDC role crdi-ad.xxxx.local
RID pool manager crdi-ad.xxxx.local
Infrastructure owner crdi-ad.xxxx.local
The command completed successfully.

All of the FSMO roles are currently on the same DC. I'm also logged in
as the Administrator which is a member of all the needed groups.

I'm running the 32bit version off of the 32bit cd. I've already loaded
the 64bit on the new server, just need to get this old box up to 2003 so
that I can move it to the new server.

Hello Kelly,

Have also a look on this one:

Additional post the output from "schupgr" from the command prompt on the
2000 DC.

Best regards
