Hello Dear Experts,
I am currently in the process of promoting a new Windows Server 2008 into my Windows server 2003 Forest. The ADPREP /forestprep ran just fine, without errors.
Now, when trying with the /domainprep /gpprep switches, I have this following error :
"D:\sources\adprep>adprep.exe /domainprep /gpprep
Running domainprep ...
Domain-wide information has already been updated.
[Status/Consequence]
Adprep did not attempt to rerun this operation.
Adprep was unable to complete because the call back function failed.
[Status/Consequence]
Error message: (null)
[User Action]
Check the log file ADPrep.log, in the C:\WINDOWS\debug\adprep\logs\2009092919255
7 directory for more information."
I looked at "'http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd464018%28WS.10%29.aspx" and they say we have to disable the Anti-Virus, if there's one. i disable it, reran the command but still, no success.
I also looked at a post here "http://www.experts-exchange.com/OS/Microsoft_Operating_Systems/Server/Windows_Server_2008/Q_24478699.html?sfQueryTermInfo=1+adprep+domainprep+fail+gpprep" and the admin got whats look like the same error message than me. When looking at my 'policies' folder in my SYSVOL, everything seems to be fine. no error in the Event Viewers whatsoever....
One thing I must mention; I recently had to restore the policies on this server using a backup (due to some 1030/1058 errors), but not ALL the policies I had on the backup needed to be restored ( I stopped restoring when my server gave me the event 1704 "Security policy in the Group policy objects has been applied successfully").
Here the most recent ADPREP log :

I recently experienced other problems, seeing this post might give you clues for what is happenening now : http://www.experts-exchange.com/OS/Microsoft_Operating_Systems/Server/2003_Server/Q_24745924.html
Now Im all lost regarding next actions to take....
Thanks in advance
