Problem adding Windows Server Standard 2008 R2 box as a Domain Controller

-

i'm attempting replace windows server 2003 standard r2 domain controller windows server 2008 standard r2 box. current domain controllers are:

  • windows server 2008 standard r2 (global catalog) (let's call "dc2")
  • windows server 2003 standard r2 (domain controller) (let's call "dc3")

i've added active directory domain services role on new windows server 2008 standard r2 box (from on - "dc1"). i've run "adprep /forestprep" command on dc2 , finished correctly. i've attempted run "adprep /domainprep" on dc3 (because it's infrastructure operations manager , because when run "dcpromo" on dc1 demands it) error indicating "adprep.exe" file valid, different machine type. i've considered transferring infrastructure operations manager role dc2, dialog box warns against it.

i've 2 active domain controllers , appears can't (shouldn't) transfer infrastructure operations manager role domain controller has global catalog and, conversely, can't (shouldn't) add global catalog domain controller infrastructure operations manager - @ least that's way seems.

would feasible "deactivate" global catalog on dc2 , transfer infrastructure manager role it? once that's done, seems should able run "adprep /domainprep" command on dc2.

i'm looking advice and/or suggestions can get.

thanks in advance.

have executed adprep32.exe /domainprep (or adprep.exe /domainprep) from windows server 2008 r2 disc? (located at: \support\adprep) ?
