This problem occurs if the Domain Users group is not in the Users container during the PREP=DOMAIN step in the Setup command-line program.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, verify that the Domain Users group is not in the Users container before the PREP=DOMAIN step in the command-line Setup program.

- Right-click the root domain container, and then click Find.
- Verify that Users, Contacts, and Groups are selected in the Find list, and then verify that the appropriate domain or Entire directory is selected in the In list.
- In the Name field, type Domain Users, and then click Find Now.
- Right-click Domain Users in Search Results, and then click Properties.
- To find the location of the Domain Users group by the canonical name of the object, click the Object tab.
- You must temporarily move the Domain Users group from its current location back to the Users container.
- Rerun the setup, and then move the Domain Users group back to its original location.
