Logged in as an admin on an existing domain controller, run:
adprep /forestprep
then, if your existing domain controller is running Windows Server 2003:
adprep /domainprep
You will find adprep on the Windows Server 2008 installation media in the support\adprep folder.
If your existing domain controller is 32-bit, use adprep32.exe.
If you are remote or if you don't have the installation media at hand, you can just download the trial install .iso and use MagicISO Virtual CD/DVD-ROM freeware to mount the ISO file.
