Adprep successfully updated the forest-wide information.

C:\adprep>
C:\adprep>adprep /domainprep
Running domainprep ...

Adprep successfully updated the domain-wide information.

The new cross domain planning functionality for Group Policy, RSOP Planning
Mode, requires file system and Active Directory Domain Services permissions
to be updated for existing Group Policy Objects (GPOs). You can enable this
functionality at any time by running "adprep.exe /domainprep /gpprep" on the
Active Directory Domain Controller that holds the infrastructure operations
master role.
This operation will cause all GPOs located in the policies folder of the
SYSVOL to be replicated once between the AD DCs in this domain.
Microsoft recommends reading KB Q324392, particularly if you have a large
number of Group policy Objects.
