Hello David

I've seen something similar before.
Try transfering the Schema Master role to a different Windows 2000 DC and
then running forestprep again.

Wouldn't it make a lot more sense to ask a question about ADPREP,
which has nothing to do with Exchange, in an AD newsgroup?

Have you checked the log files referred to in the "Full Eroor INFO"
you posted? What did they tell you might be the problem, and what have
you done about it?

Have you checked to see if the DC setup is contacting has the FSMO role
and if so, has the regkey to enable it to do schema upgrades?

Have you checked to ensure your Schema master is available and resolvable
from the Exchange server?

PS. Please avoid cross-posting to many unrelated newsgroups to get your
answer. This is an issue you are having during setup and it is most
appropriate in ms.p.exchange.setup.
