adding domain controller

[Peter Hatzis]

hello. I have a win 2003 domain. using dcpromo i promoted a Win2008 R2 x64
server, after running forestprep and domainprep
This was for test reasons and using dcpromo again i demoted the R2 server,
making it a workgroup machine (not member server).

Now that i want to promote a Win2008 server (not R2), do i have to run
forestprep and domainprep again?

Regards, Peter

Hello Peter,

No, because the schema upgrade for 2008 R2 includes the older ones.

Best regards

Hello Peter,

All schema version are included when a newer OS version schema update comes.
