DCPROMO Win2k3 R2
I have multiple DC's that are running on Windows 2003 Standard SP1. We just bought our first Server that has Windows 2003 R2 on it. When I do the DCPROMO I get an error saying that I need to run adprep on that machine to prepare active directory. Is there anything problems I should know about this before I just run this and update AD? All of our servers are Windows 2003 Standard SP1 and we also have Exchange 2003. I am just being cautious before I run this. Thanks.

I insert the CD 2 from Windows 2003 R2 in the DC that has Server 2003 Standard (on the DC) correct? Do you know if it matters if I run it on the DC or the DC w/Exchange installed on it, is there a difference?
Right now we have three Domain Controllers running Server 2003 Standard. Do I just run this once on one of the DCs and it will convert all of them?
You need to run that (only) on the Schema Master; the account you're using has to be a member of the Schema Admins group.
I should do this adprep /forestprep even though I have Server 2003 Standard? According to the technet articles this is supposed to be done on a Windows 2000 Server. Will this have any affect on my Exchange 2003 on my DC or is there anything extra I should do for it. Thanks in advance.
Yes; you have Server 2003, but not Server 2003 R2 (as a DC). No, this should not have any effect on your Exchange server.
