Problems, When I am trying to transfer the FSMO roles and I choose Domain contoller it keeps telling me &quot;The Domain Contoller could not be set. The Parameter is incorrect.&quot; Can't move forward. Any suggestions?

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I am currently in the process of migrating my 2003 domain to 2008 and ran into a potential problem. I have ran adprep32 /forestprep and that ran successfully but when I went to run adprep32 /domainprep it told me my domain needed to be running in native mode in order to do this. I raised the domain funcational level to native and re-ran adprep32 /domainprep and it completed successfully but want to make sure I didn't mess things up by running forestprep while the domain was in mixed mode then running domainprep when the domain was then in native mode. <br />
<br />
Also, This network does file redirection and would like to know how to properly move this function to the new windows 2008 domain but I can post this as a seperate case my main concern is the question above.<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance for all your help.
