I have Exchange 2000 in my Windows 2000 Domain. &nbsp;Did you run the Inetorgpersonprevent.ldf to prevent mangled attributes before running the adprep /forestprep and adprep /domainprep? &nbsp;Do I do this on the exchange box or the forest root?

I added the server to the domain this morning. &nbsp;All went well except for I configured DNS on the server and now when I start up it takes about 10 minutes to Prepare network connections. &nbsp;I log in and there is an event in the event viewer Event ID 4515

I have 2 domain controller in my windows 2000 AD domain. &nbsp;Both are windows 2000 Server. &nbsp;I would like to add a windows 2003 domain controller and remove one of my windows 2000 domain controllers. &nbsp;I've done research on the exchange 2000 mangled attributes that occur when adding a windows 2003 server domain controller. &nbsp;My question is: Do I run the adprep /forestprep command and the /domainprep command on windows 2003 server that I would like to be an additional domain controller? &nbsp;or from the Forest Root? &nbsp;Does it matter that I have my windows 2000 in Native mode?

Windows Server 2003

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
