Need DETAILED instructions on running adprep.
Where do I find adprep? How do I run it on a 2000 DC to prepare for promoting a 2003 to DC? Thanks.

BobGipson,
straight off the cd (I386) you need to do it from the command line you have to run the ADPREP /FORESTPREP first, Then /DOMAINPREP switch

I'm really new and green here. Please explain, "from the Schema Master" and "from the Infrastructure Master."
Thank you.

Bob,
Depending on how many DC's you have currently, there are 5 FSMO roles that can be placed on Different DC's, if you set this up and know that you havent played with this, then all the roles will be held on the first DC you had
if just one DC, then they will all be held there

As Jay states, the Schema Master role and Infrastructure role are normally on the first DC you created - unless you specifically moved them, then that's where they live.
The account that used to be Administrator on the server before it was promoted will be in the correct groups to run adprep completely.

So I just install the 2003 cd in the 2000 dc and run adprep?
