adprep32.exe /forestprep stuck at "The command has completed successfully"

[davy2k]

Dear All,

I have 2 sites with Windows 2003 DC one of the DCs in one site failed (old hardware) and I am trying to replace this with a Windows 2008 R2 DC.

I have removed the failed DC using ntdsutil and now running the adprep32.exe /forestprep on the existing DC but stuck at "The command has completed successfully" for the past 2hrs.

I have checked the C:\WINDOWS\debug\adprep log files but no clue as to the root cause. here is the result of the command that was running. Also, I am unable to close or stop the adprep32.exe process.

Please help!!!

F:\support\adprep>adprep32.exe /forestprep
