Make sure that the domain and forest are both in the correct mode. I think it's called native mode, it might be Windows 2000 mode. They changed the names from Windows 2000 to Windows 2003, and it's been a long time since I've looked at a Windows 2000 domain.

Yes my DC Win2K Server was already in a Native Mode. Is there any problem if I will run again the adprep command on my DC Win2K Server? or do I need to re-install my new Win2K3. Thanks!
