Do I need to log in to the domain controller and run /forestprep and then log in to the exchange server and run /domainprep? Or will the schema get updated if I run the install from the cd on the exchange server? I'm kinda confused because the exchange server is on a stand alone w2k3 server that's a member of the w2k3 domain.
