I am having problems getting any of my Windows 98 boxes to join a Windows 2003 Domain. I have installed the DSCLIENT and made the correct changes to the REG ie LSM NTLM and SMB auth. I still get a denied access when I try to log in. What can I do other than trashing Windows 98?

I've found that the DSCLIENT will not work with Windows Server 2003. We've been setting up a Windows Server 2003 and have had intermittent problems with logging Windows '98 PCs onto it. Even though all settings on the PCs will be the same (bar the IP addresses, obviously), some machines will log onto the network and others won't. With the one's that will log on half on them will access the Internet and the other half won't. After running the DSCLIENT and making the registry changes the Windows '98 PC displayed a 'Domain password incorrect or access to your logon server has been denied' Uninstalled the DSCLIENT and reversed the registry changes, enabled DHCP on the server. Set the client PCs to obtain an IP and Gateway address automatically, but had to manually set the ISP DNS addresses. All PCs now log onto the network, access shared drives, connect to Exchange, access the Internet and update McAfee VirusScan from the server. Hope this helps. If not just wanted to share the headache that has been setting up a Windows 2003 Server :-)

you can't join a 9X machine to a domain, only 2000pro and XP pro.

You can able join win 98 PC's to the windows 2003 domain, if you stop the SMB service on all the domain controllers.
