<LI>The forest and domains are prepared by using the <B>adprep</B> command on the schema operations master and infrastructure operations master, respectively. </LI>

<LI>However, setup can't determine if all necessary procedures have been done or not.</LI>
|
|
<LI>To prepare the Active Directory forest and domains, perform the following procedures in the order provided.</LI>

</LI>
|
|
|
|
<LI>After the forest preparation data has replicated throughout the forest, prepare the domains for Windows Server 2003 as described in the following procedure. The domain preparation operation must be performed on the infrastructure operations master of each domain in the forest.

|

<UL><LI>You cannot upgrade domain controllers in a forest without first preparing the forest and domains by using <B>adprep</B> on the schema and infrastructure operations masters, respectively. </LI>
|
|
<LI>Depending on the replication schedule for your organization, the time it takes to propagate preparation data will vary.</LI>
