The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Zones: Windows 2003 Server, Active Directory

Tags: Microsoft, Windows 2003 Server, 2003 R2, adprep /forest unable to update

Unable to extend the AD schema to add a 2003 server R2 to the domain. After running adprep /forest I get an error "lDAPDisplayName" attribute value for objects defined in Windows 2000 schema and extended schema do not match. See below error:

Adprep created the log file ADPrep.log under C:\WINDOWS\system32\debug\adprep\logs\20080425083436 directory.

Adprep copied file C:\Windows Server 2003 R2 Disk 2\CMPNENTS\R2\ADPREP\schema.ini from installation point to local machine under directory C:\WINDOWS.

Adprep copied file C:\Windows Server 2003 R2 Disk 2\CMPNENTS\R2\ADPREP\sch31.ldf from installation point to local machine under directory C:\WINDOWS\system32.

Adprep copied file C:\Windows Server 2003 R2 Disk 2\CMPNENTS\R2\ADPREP\dcpromo.csv from installation point to local machine under directory C:\WINDOWS\system32\debug\adprep\data.

Adprep copied file C:\Windows Server 2003 R2 Disk 2\CMPNENTS\R2\ADPREP\409.csv from installation point to local machine under directory C:\WINDOWS\system32\debug\adprep\data.

Adprep successfully made the LDAP connection to the local domain controller DC2.

Adprep was about to call the following LDAP API. ldap_search_s(). The base entry to start the search is (null).

LDAP API ldap_search_s() finished, return code is 0x0

Adprep successfully retrieved information from the local directory service.

Adprep successfully initialized global variables.
[Status/Consequence] Adprep is continuing.

ADPREP WARNING:
Before running adprep, all Windows 2000 domain controllers in the forest should be upgraded to Windows 2000 Service Pack 1 (SP1) with QFE 265089, or to Windows 2000 SP2 (or later).
QFE 265089 (included in Windows 2000 SP2 and later) is required to prevent potential domain controller corruption.
For more information about preparing your forest and domain see KB article Q331161 at http://support.microsoft.com.
[User Action]
If ALL your existing Windows 2000 domain controllers meet this requirement, type C and then press ENTER to continue. Otherwise, type any other key and press ENTER to quit.
===================================================
"lDAPDisplayName" attribute value for objects defined in Windows 2000 schema and extended schema do not match.

A previous schema extension has defined the attribute value as "DUP-preferredLanguage-17fd6fdf-ac28-4ded-8d34-a8925cdaef9a" for object "CN=preferredLanguage,CN=Schema,CN=Configuration,DC=optimum,DC=com" differently than the schema extension needed for Windows 2003 server .
[Status/Consequence]
Adprep cannot extend your existing schema
[User Action]
Contact the vendor of the application that previously extended the schema to resolve the inconsistency. Then run adprep again.

I am thinking of installing FSU 3.5, but not sure if this will resolve my issue.

Thanks in advance
