SYMPTOMS
You may not be able to upgrade a Microsoft Windows 2000
Server domain controller to Windows Server 2003 if the Windows 2000 domain
controller has the Server for NIS component from Services for UNIX version 2.0
installed. Also, when you try to upgrade to Windows Server 2003, you may be
prompted to run Schupgr.exe to upgrade your schema, and when you run this tool,
you may receive the following error message:
Schema
update failed: attribute in may-contain does not exist.

Important If Services for UNIX version 2.0 has already been removed, this
hotfix cannot be installed. In that case, you must run Renameattribute.exe, the
attribute renaming program. To rename the attribute without installing the
hotfix:
- On a domain controller for Active Directory directory
service, log on with administrative credentials.
- Extract the contents of the hotfix. To do this, type the
following command at a command prompt, and then press ENTER:Renameattribute.exe is extracted to the folder where you placed
the Q293783_SFU_2_X86.exe file.
- Run Renameattribute.exe from the folder where you extracted
it in step 2.
Note The purpose of this hotfix is to permit you to upgrade from
Windows 2000 to Windows Server 2003. Microsoft has not tested Services for UNIX
2.0 on Windows Server 2003. For more information about interoperability, visit
