Trying to integrate Server 2003 R2 x64 into Server 2003 Domain
I am trying to deploy a Windows 2003 Standard R2 x64 server into a domain with existing Windows 2003 32-bit domain controllers. I followed the directions found here: https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/22993975/Correct-way-to-deploy-first-2003-R2-64-bit-DC-into-existing-2003-32-bit-enviroment.html but was told by adprep /forestprep that it could only be run on a Domain Controller.
From what I've read, this is not the case, I should be able to run it from the new server as long as it is joined to the domain.
Am I doing something wrong?

I believe "adprep /forestprep" does indeed have to be run on a domain controller. In fact, I believe it has to be run on the schema master for the forest. Are you receiving a particular error when trying to add this server? Also, are you trying to make it an additional DC or just a domain member?
