This may have been answered multiple times in this forum before and if so, I apologize. I have 1 Windows 2000 x32 DC that is running on our internal network. I just installed a new Windows Server 2008 x64 server to replace the existing Windows 2000 x32 DC. I, of course, need to make the Windows Server 2008 x64 server a domain controller in order to eventually decommission the existing Windows 2000 x32 DC.
When I try to prepare the forest for the Windows Server 2008 x64 DC and run the following command on the Windows 2000 x32 DC C:\sources\adprep\adprep /forest prep I get this error at the command prompt:
C:\sources\adprep\adprep /forestprep

Can anyone tell me how to resolve this problem so I can prepare the Windows 2000 x32 server forest and domain for the new Server 2008 x64 DC? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
