I have a single domain server running Server 2003 running a 2003 functional level domain. I am trying to add a server 2008 R2 machine to be another domain controller, with the intention of promoting it to be the primary, and taking off the server 2003 machine. I am required to run adprep /forestprep on the Server 2003 machine. When I run it, it fails with the following errors: Adprep failed to verify whether schema master has completed a replication cycle after last reboot. Status/Consequence The schema is not upgraded.

Attempting to figure out what is with the replication, running repadmin /showrepl repadmin running command /showrepl against server localhost Default-First-Site-Name SERVERNEW DC Options: ISGC Site Options: (none) DC object GUID: 0657168e-d854-48d8-a40a-dea3e41e6e87 DC invocationID: 0657168e-d854-48d8-a40a-dea3e41e6e87 Anyone know how to fix this error? Would raising the domain and forest to a 2003 functional level have any likelihood of working? While just making a new domain from scratch and typing in all the user names and stuff again isn't a deal breaker because we only have about 15 users, it would still be a big pain.
