Forestprep Domainprep   

Can Forrestprep and Domainprep be run more than once, or will that cause 
conflict.  I have run both of them but I ran them from my new Exchange member 
server and not a DC and I am concerned they did not run properly.  However I 
do have some exchange server additions in ADUC and ADSS and when both wizards 
finished they both said successful.  Should/can I run these commands again on 
a DC?

Thanks,
Adam

That should not be needed.  I would run repadmin to make sure that 
replication has completed for all DC's.  If you would like to run it again, 
there is no problem with doing so.  Run forest prep, then force replication.  
Then run domain prep.  Then run repadmin and verify the AD replication 
status...

Thanks again Ozone!  Answeres to these small questions are one of the reasons 
I love the internet.  I ran repadmin and replication was successful to all 
dc's.  So I will be moving on then.  Now to create a two-way ADC connection 
agreement!

RE: Forestprep Domainprep   

Ok, ran into an issue when trying to set up an ADC agreement.  I get the 
following error when I run the Wizard:
The Connection Agreement Wizard could not read the legacy Exchange DN for 
Admin Group CN=Company,CN=Administrative 
Groups,CN={335A1087-5131-4D45-BE3E-3C6C7F76F5EC},CN=Microsoft 
Is this a forestprep issue?

Thanks,
Adam
