I have a Win2K Server as my Primary Server and also have a backup server (Win2K Server too).

I setup my 3rd server Windows 2003 Server and I was able to see the servers, setup DNS but I get this error when I setup AD:

The operation failed because:

The Active Directory Installation Wizard cannot continue because the forest is not prepared for installing Windows Server 2003. Use the Adprep command-line tool to prepare both the forest and the domain. For more information about using the Adprep, see Active Directory Help.

"The version of the Active Directory schema of the source forest is not compatible with the version of Active Directory on this computer."

I tried to go to start run and type "adprep" but nothing happened.

Any ideas?
