I see you figured it out. Would you mind sharing. I'm having the exact same problem.

adprep command to promot new domain controller
I recently was given the task to manage a small network
2 domain controllers running Win 200
2 member servers running Win 200
Functional level = Win 2000 Mixe
I added another Win 2003 server and tried to promote it to a domain
controller because our second domain controller is also our SQL Server and it
was easier to create a new domain controller on a spare computer than to move
SQL Server to a new server
I am told that before I can promote the server I must run adprep for both
the forest and domain
I don't know how we got two Win2003 domain controllers without adprep ever
being run but that is beside the point
My question
I am not quite ready to raise the domain functional level - I'm not sure
what legacy devices might require the current level. Will adprep just add
the 2003 objects to my schema wihtout raising the functional leval?

My schema is version 30 so I suppose I need to upgrade to 31. I am wonderin
if SP2 was ever installed on my other servers

On further investegation, my domain controller(s) have SP 2 installed. When
I tried to run adprep on the forest root domain controller it appeared as if
was the adprep program that would prepare the forest for Win2000 NOT Win2003
And my server has a cd drive and won't read my msdn DVD disk I am installing
from......

OK....I give up.....I made a CD from the disk 2 ISO file. I found adprep on
the CD but I can't run it from the CD - the DOS window flashes by too fast to
see why not......what's my next step

Hello Johnslg
To check the schema version run "schupgr" without the quotes on a command
prompt. 13 will be 2000, 30 2003, 31 2003 R2, 44 2008. If you have a 2003
R2 machine which you like to promote yuou have to run the adprep command
from the second R2 disk
Adprep command will not raise the FFL/DFL, it just prepares the schema for
the new objects delivered with the different versions of windows
