Did you transfer the Schema Master Role over to the DC you were performing
the adprep /forestprep or did you do this on the Root DC (on the assumption
that the fsmo roles are still managed by the root dc)

Root DC was holding all FSMO roles. Never any was moved.
Thanks. Issue is resolved now.
After franatic searching, found that one of the DC was updated with SP4 but
updates after SP4 were not installed. Once latest updates after SP4 installed
ADPRER went smoothley ahead.

Thanks to you all.
