I need help adding a 64 bit 2003 server to 32 bit 2003 sbs server as a DC. ADPREP issue.
I am having trouble adding a 2003 server R2 x64 machine to a 2003 sbs server R2 X86 domain as a domain controller.
I found kb919151 which seems to address the issue. I downloaded the kb to a directory c:\hotfix\adprep
In the ADPREP directory there a number of ldf files (sch14.ldf) which I assume are for the schema update and subfolders of x64, x86 which has the respective version of ADPREP.exe in them.
When I run the 32 bit ADPREP /DOMAINPREP from command prompt at c:\hotfix\adprep\x86 I get an error about needing to be run in the directory with  schema.ini and sch*.ldf.
I am thinking all I would need to do is copy the x86 version to the ADPREP directory.
I just wanted confirmation from someone who may have done this update before I try it. The hotfix came with no instructions other than apply and reboot.

No, we migrated our 2003 AD already to 2008, and not needed to add 2003 x64 DC server to our domain.
