I am trying to add a child domain using Windows Server 2003 and am getting the following error &quot;The version of the active directory schema of the source forest is not compatible with the version of active directory on this computer&quot;<br />
<br />
The parent domain is running on WINDOWS SERVER 2003 as well so I have no idea why I am getting this error. &nbsp;I have searched for an answer to this problem and all I can find is that this should only occur when trying to join a W2k domain with a Windows Server 2003 machine. &nbsp;Does anyone have any idea why I am having this problem. &nbsp;Thanks!

Adding a child domain to Windows Server 2003 Domain

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).
