Adding a 64bit domain controller to a 32bit domain

Hi,
I have a domain that has to domain controllers. It was originally a 2000
domain, but later i upgraded (both domain controllers) to 2003. Now I am
trying to add a brand new 2003 server as an additional domain controller.
However I keep getting an error that says the schema don't match? I checked
and the controllers are both running in native mode. Any help would be
appreciated.

I'm betting that the one you're trying to add is a Server 2k3 R2 version. I
don't remember there being a schema change with SP1 (which is the minimum
level that Server 2k3 x64 Edition would be). If so, there's a schema update
as part of the R2 package.

It's easy enough to fix - use adprep to update the schema and then try
again. See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/324392 for the updated adprep.
