Missing schema attributes in ADSIEdit

I am trying to update my Windows 2000 Server domain (with Exchange 2000) to
Windows Server 2003. To do so, I must apply the inetorgpersonfix.ldf file
before upgrading to avoid mangling some AD attributes that were created when
we installed Exchange 2000 years ago. See:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;314649

The problem I'm having is that the fix won't run because it says the AD
directory object it's trying to upodate is not found. Upon looking into the
issue using ADSIEdit, it looks like I'm missing entries related to my schema.

Under ADSI Edit I have no Schema or Configuration entries for my domain,
just the Domain entry, and it's not showing up on the other domain controller
either. This example pic shows what I'm missing:

I only have the Domain section. Any idea how to fix this? I saw a "Reload
Schema" option but I'm hesitant to use it before I know exactly what it does.
Thanks.

Hello Neil,

Do you have only one Domain controller or more?

Best regards
