ADprep for 2008 server R2

I have a 2003 domain controller and now a new 2008 server. I'm trying to create a 2008 domain controller in my existing forest. I know I have to run adprep. However, it's not letting me run forest prep? If I run on 2008 server it tells me Can't run on this platform because it's no an AD domain controller. If I try to run on 2003 it tells me it's not vaild on this machine? How do I accomplish this? I have a 2008 r2 64 bit server and a 2003 32 bit server?

Thanks. I forgot about the 32 prep.

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
