Cannot add as child domain

Cannot add as child domain

Hi all

I am trying to join a Windows 2003 R2 SE SP1 machine to an existing Domain
Controller which is running Windows 2003 Enterprise SP1 as child domain,
however it is not allowing me to do so. Its prompting to run adprep.

I went on domain controller and have run adprep /forestPrep and adprep
/domainPrep but it runs very quickly and it doesnt seem to solve my problem
as once again it wont allow me to create child domain.

I am sure I am missing something here...would appreciate your help.

Thanks
C White
