I have Win2k advanced server running active directory service, my windows 95/98/me clients cannot logon to this domain. They entered a username/password and got the message that the logon server did not recognize the password/access to server has been denied. what can i do to change this and correct the problem?
thanks

How do you join 95/98 boxes to a domain other than entering the domain name into the correct box in the client for microsoft windows properties?

I went into Networks in the control panel and i cliecked log on to Windows NT domain and i entered the domain into the box, i restarted the computer and then i entered the logon info in to the logon dialog and pressed enter. and then the server denied access i tried installing the client in the win2k cd and it did not help. logons from win 95/98/me clients used to work and now it does not

What did you enter for the domain name when joining those machines? If, for example your Domain name is "yourdomain.com", make sure NOT to add the .com for the 9x and ME machines. just use "yourdomain". No Quotes.

I can't remember how to do it in Win2K, but in Win NT 4.0, you would have to go to server manager and add Win9x clients. Now I remember, have to add them (the machines) to "Active Directory Users and Computers" which will be found in your Administrative tools menu.

Dear Jeff
First you have to create a computer account in DC from Active Directory in computer or user folder, don't forget to check the box "Allow pre-windows 2000 computer to use this account" then try the procedure mentined above by you. You'll be surely at your destination. go ahead.....

When i reboot the domain controller, the following error message appeared:
"Security Accounts Manager initialization failed because of the following error: Directory Service cannot start. Error Status: 0xc00002e1. Please click OK to shutdown this system and reboot into Directory Services Restore Mode, check the event log for more detailed information.
If you click OK, the computer restarts."I can't start the server at all!!!!
After reinstall the win2k server, this problem appear again after several days!!!How to prevent this????
HELP!!!
