On rechecking the R2 RTM CD for the file R2Readme.HTM, I don't see adprep
/forestprep listed in it. Howevre on previous versions (beta versions), if
you install using the method:
1. Install W2k3 SP1
2. Setup DC (dcpromo)
3. Install R2 Disc
adprep /forestprep will be needed. And yes, it will add schema changes,
since there's an updated File Server from R2.
You said that you installed R2 after setting up FRS/File server, right?
After installed R2, please open up Manage Your Server and Upgrade the File
Server role.
For the error that you are seeing, please try the resolutions listed here
and see if it helps:

Post by C KelleyI will re-read the release notes, but I never saw anything about doing the
addprep /forestperp after installing your first R2 DC in the domian. The
forestprep adds schema changes and doesn't have anything to do with a
particular OS that's being run as far as I know. I'll check again but as
far as I can tell you just need to run adprep on any DC in the domain befor
installing or useing R2 features.
My current plan since I've been wantign to rename this server anyway, is
to demote it, change the name and promo it again. I think this will clear
the up the problem. I just don't want this to happen to any more of my DCs
that I isntall R2 on
the error I'm getting is,
Event Type: Error
Event Source: NtFrs
Event Category: None
Event ID: 13555

The File Replication Service is in an error state. Files will not
replicate to or from one or all of the replica sets on this computer until
Post by Jabez GanIf you make the machine a DC before installing R2, you will need to do a
adprep.exe /forestprep AFTER installing R2.
Please read the release notes for R2. :)

Post by C Kelleyok this really sucks I looked at all my options, and i'm trying to
find the quickest one. I have mulipul DCs so that's not a prob, should
I just demote the DC and dcpromo it? I dont' have a current backup of
this server but AD has the SYSVOL replicated to many servers. I also
have DFS/FRS replication going, I guess I'll loose that as well, like
they dirs will have to be rereplicated..

13555.. anyone know why? and what shoudl I do?
