Windows Server 2008 R2: Forest-Wide Updates
Applies To: Windows 7, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2
You can review the following list of changes to help understand the schema updates that are performed by adprep /forestprep in Windows Server 2008 R2 and prepare for them. The adprep /forestprep command must be completed and the changes must replicate throughout the forest before you can add domain controllers that run Windows Server 2008 R2. For more information about how to run adprep /forestprep, see Prepare a Windows 2000 or Windows Server 2003 Forest Schema for a Domain Controller That Runs Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2008 R2. To determine if adprep /forestprep completed successfully, you can use ADSIEdit to verify the value of the Revision attribute of the ActiveDirectoryUpdate container. If all the operations that are performed by the adprep /forestprep command in Windows Server 2008 R2 (79, 80, 81, 82, and 83) complete successfully, the Revision attribute for the CN=ActiveDirectoryUpdate,CN=ForestUpdates,CN=Configuration,DC=ForestRootDomain object is set to 5:
