Answer Posted / chandraprakash
Forest prep runs a series of ldifde scripts in order to
create an exchange container in the schema configuration
partition. It also prepares the schema with all the
required attributes to host an exchange server in the
forest. Only an administrator who is a member of Enterprise
Admin group can run forest prep. It should be run prior to
the domain prep.
Domain prep creates Exchange Enterprise Server group and
Exchange Domain Servers group in the AD. It also Adds
Exchange server group to the manage logs for Audit and
Security. It adds the Domain computer to the Exchange
Domain server group which allows the users to manage
Exchange servers. Domain Prep should be run after Forest
prep by the administrator who is member of domain admin
group.
Doing Forest Prep and Domain prep prior to the exchange
installation prepares the schema and Domain objects to host
the exchange server.
