Hi, <br />
I was told to upgrade Windows 2003 member server to Windows 2008 member server in an existing Domain. There are many domain controllers in this domain, by the way.<br />
<br />
My question is &quot;shall I run adprep/forestprep and adproep/domainprep before running windows 2008 setup&quot;?<br />
<br />
Thanks a lot!
