Windows 2008 R2 Adprep - 32 and 64 bit

4 comments

I know there are confusions around 32 bit and 64 bit versions of ADPREP.  Windows Server 2008 R2 includes a 32-bit version and a 64-bit version of Adprep.exe.  The 64-bit version runs by default.  If you want to run one of the Adprep.exe commands on a 32-bit computer, use the 32-bit version of Adprep.exe.  It is called Adprep32.exe.  In Windows 2008 R2, it is located in the \Support\Adprep folder.
