I am assuming in step 8 where you show the command line, you mean:

setup.com /PrepareDomain

You have:

8. Setup /PrepareDomain

If you have other domain in which you would like to add Exchange 2007 servers in. Run this in each of those.

From a command prompt, type:

setup.com /PrepareAD

If this is for updating, does that that mean the previous version installed should be removed prior to installation of this new one?

The schema update is just an update, it does not break anything in any domain. It allows your to install Exchange Server 2007 into the forest.

As usual Jim is correct. Sorry for any confusion.

Great!

This allows to run prepare schema and AD on offline FSMO using 32 bit version of exch2k7!

No more troubles if schema update blows. You just throw the master away and seize another DC for the roles!

Thx dude!

I think what he is saying is that you can update your Active Directory by using the 32-bit (evaluation) version of Exchange 2003 running the setup /prepareXXXX functions from the console of the W2K3 DCs. 32-bit DCs are supported and work just fine. If your NTDS.DIT is larger than about 800MB (the maximum cache size for 32-bit DCs), then 64-bit DCs may be a good move. But they are not required.

Sorry for the dumb question, are you saying that 32bit DC's aren't supported? or that to get your 32bit DC's updated with the Exchange 2007 schema you have to go through additional steps than you would if you were running 64bit DC's?
