Erros during foret prep in windows 2003 domain

Dear experts,
I run in problems trying to run forest prep my Main schema DC server in order to install exchange 2003 in my Windows 2003 domain , and i hade this error message coming out from DATA0 server , witch its the schema master server: next you can see all my infrastructure .
If im not wrong, first I should run this forest prep and domain prep in the main DC schema server witch is DATA0 , then install exchange in MAIL0 server.
Its that correct? Please help ASAP.
Thanks in advance, next all details:

Infrastructure:

DATA 0 = main DC , DNS server
ip: 192.168.91.2
1DNS: 192.168.91.3

Make sure that you are loging onto the server that holds the schema master and that you have schema admin rights.

ok here is same more details:

This error maybe the main problem, please advice.
I install 4 mouths a go exchange 2007 in other server for test reasons , and them i re-install the this server to a windows 2003 witch im using now to install full new installation of exchange 2003 ,.
Now when I see this part of the forestprer , I have this :

[17:49:14] Looking for domain proxy container
[17:49:14] Domain proxy container found -- checking DomainPrep version
[17:49:14] Installed DomainPrep version is 10628; current version is 6936
[17:49:14] this domain is not DomainPrepped

I think the problem maybe that the forest prep it was done by exchange 2007 ? I don’t remember in witch stage I left that server installation. If Is it , any suggestion to solve this problem ?

Thanks

It has its quirks and there are still issues with third party support, but the actual product is fine. I have it at home and on two sites now and haven't seen many problems with it at all.

The major issues have been with GUI loving admins who cannot get on with the command line interface required for some things.
