    Hi guys,

    I am planning to upgrade our 2000 domain to 2003 R2. I run addprep/forestprep and /domain prep from
    2003 R2 first CD. Recently I read in net I need to do that from second CD is it true? I didnt add 2003 R2 domain controller to domain yet, Am I need to rerun those commands from second CD before adding 2003 R2 domain controller to existing(2000) domain?

    Thanks
    Sridhar.

    Yes you have to, otherwise if you just upgrade to the 2k3 forest/domain (by using adprep on the normal Win 2k3 CD) you do not get the extra functions in AD, eg the deploy printer, etc.
