ERROR 8206 and 8202 When Extending the Schema

Anyone have any ideas on ERROR 8206 and 8202? This error is received in the log file when trying to extend the schema. I am a Schema Admin/Domain Admin - thus I have the rights. I enabled schema updates capability on my Domain Controller which holds all FSMO roles via Schema MMC snap-in. I get this error when I am running the SMS Setup - I am not proceeding with SMS install until it allows me; I know I can extend later but I want to know what is preventing me. I have also rebooted all systems just to ensure.
