Made it further than I have before (after rebooting the 2k3 box, ’cause any time I tried to log into it with the GeckoTemple domain account it was complaining that the RPC was unavailable). If this works, I’m a happy man.
Oop. Wait.
Getting the ADPrep thing, ’cause I didn’t do that (and I’m a bad man).
So from my w2k box, I map to the cdrom for Win2k3, and in the i386 directory run adprep /forestprep and then (after the second try) I hit “c” and then Enter instead of just enter (which cancels) Read the freakin’ screen, man.
Now it says: “Adprep successfully updated the forest-wide information.”
This is equally wonderful and frightening. I guess that’s why I got into this crazy biz.
Okay, so it’s all finished, and asked me to reboot. I think we are, in the words of Jodie Foster, “okay to go“
