I need to run ForestPrep and DomainPrep for Active Directory on our Child Domain. &nbsp;I don't have the CD onsite there so I was hoping to copy the files need from the Exchange CD and across the network to accomplish this. &nbsp;If this is possible, what files would I need? &nbsp;I did it when I needed to prep the domain to upgrade active directory from 2003 to 2008. &nbsp;Hoping it works the same.
