forest prep

About this tag
The tag 'forest prep' refers to the Active Directory preparation step known as adprep /forestprep, which is required when upgrading a Windows Server domain controller to a newer version. In the context of Windows Server migrations, such as from SBS2011 to Server 2019, running forestprep updates the Active Directory schema to support the new server version. The process must be executed on the schema master domain controller, and it requires that all existing domain controllers run at least Windows Server 2003. Errors during forestprep can halt the migration, making it a critical step in enterprise IT infrastructure upgrades.
