Going form server 2k to 2k3
Ok first off I have searched this site over several times and tried following what I saw but key steps are missing for me.
I have allso searched Microsofts site and they are as vague to me as what I have found everywhere else.
and now to the point and what i have done so far.
I am attempting to add a windows 2003 server to a windows 2000 server as a domain controler.
I have a Brand new out of the box from dell power edge 1950 with windows 2003 server pre-installed.
And I want to Make it our New Domain Controler
I understand that to do this I must first run Addprep /forestprep and addprep /domainprep, On my Current domain controler witch is my Server 2000 machine.
Now I found the addprep folder on my 2003 CD and I copied it to the root of my win2k server and I ran it from the command line, and of course I get a error, I did a search on my system to find any and all Log files addprep might have made and I find one in 'C:WiNNT\system32\debug\ad
and this is what the log shows me.
Adprep created the log file ADPrep.log under C:\WINNT\system32\debug\ad

Adprep was about to call the following LDAP API. ldap_search_s(). The base entry to start the search is (null).
LDAP API ldap_search_s() finished, return code is 0x0
Adprep successfully retrieved information from the local directory service.
Adprep successfully initialized global variables.
[Status/Consequence]
Adprep is continuing.
ADPREP WARNING:
Before running adprep, all Windows 2000 domain controllers in the forest should be upgraded to Windows 2000 Service Pack 1 (SP1) with QFE 265089, or to Windows 2000 SP2 (or later).
QFE 265089 (included in Windows 2000 SP2 and later) is required to prevent potential domain controller corruption.
For more information about preparing your forest and domain see KB article Q331161 at http://support.microsoft.com.
[User Action]
If ALL your existing Windows 2000 domain controllers meet this requirement, type C and then press ENTER to continue. Otherwise, type any other key and press ENTER to quit.
Adprep was unable to check the forest update status.
[Status/Consequence]
Adprep queries the directory to see if the forest has already been prepared. If the information is unavailable or unknown, Adprep proceeds without attempting this operation.
[User Action]
Restart Adprep and check the Adprep.log file. Verify in the log file that this forest has already been successfully prepared.
Adprep encountered a Win32 error.
Error code: 0x57 Error message: The parameter is incorrect..
And this is the end of the log.
I checked and double checked to make sure the Domain admin account had enterprise and schema rights and it does.
Please asist
Thank you in advance

As far as I can tell the GPO does.
I am not sure how to run DCdiag, I was kind of thrown into this out of the blue and am just going from what I have read thus far. and I know nothing about the Flexible single master operation.

Failed to open the Group Polocy object. you may not have appropriate rights.
So I was wronge it apears it does not, how do I correct that?

I swear this is a battle every step of the way, I am unable to run DCdiag at all, when I try to run it I get a error saying "The Procedure entry point __mb_cur_max_func could not be located in the dynamic link library msvcrt.dll. I tried running it form the command line as you see in the SS and I allso tried double clicking on the exe in the Dir and got the exact same error...I attached a screen shot of this.
allso when I tried to install support tools it tells me it has to be installed on a XP or higher machine.....
At this point its looking like it would be a lot easyer to just turn off the old DC and rebuild everything from scratch..allthough I really dont want to do that.
