Can't Logon to Windows 2000 Domain
We updated our Domain to windows 2000 about six months ago.
Everything has been fine, but last Thursday, we started getting calls that users can't log in. The only users having the problem are users with Windows 98.All Windows 2000 and XP clients are fine. Nothing has changed on our network or to the A.D. Any suggestions? Thanks in Advance. |

Hi,
Check if you have NetBIOS is installed and running. You need to make sure the Windows 98 clients are using a NetBIOS name and not the Fully Qualified Domain Name. Unfortunately, Windows 98 does not understand this fully qualified name so we had to simply use the NetBIOS name. Try the following procedure 1. Go to Network properties 2. Under the Identification tab check the workgroup name should match with NetBIOS name. 3. Also change the domain name to a NETBIOS name under the Client for Microsoft Network tab. Once it is done you should be able to logon to the domain and also successfully resolve the name of the server to the IP address. I am happy to help you. Do let me know your progress on this issue.

Thanks Harish,
I've already tried this. I've done some research and it looks like the SAM in our Active Directory is corrupt causing our windows 98 clients to not log on.
