Problem with adprep before in place upgrade of domain controller
I was able to solve this by adding the root certificate to trusted root authorities. Right click schupgrade.cat (in the support\adprep folder) and click properties then go to the Digital Signatures tab. Click on the only signature listed and hit Details. Then hit View Certificate. Go to the Certification Path tab and hit the top certificate, it should have a red x on it and the status should say something about it not being trusted. Then View Certificate on this top cert, and click Install Certificate. Install to Local Machine, and specify to install into the Trusted Root Certificate Authorities store.
After that the cert should be trusted and adprep should work. If you close all the properties windows and reopen the red x should be gone and the signature valid.
