Win 2k3 server and Win 98 clients

Comment:
I have a situation in a school where I have a Win 2k3 server servicing Win XP Pro and Win 98 clients. Pupils have no passwords and have set GPO to reflect this. Staff have passwords but although they can log on successfully to the XP Pro PCs the Win 98 PCs won't log in reporting that the password is either incorrect or the the account has been locked out. How do I resolve this?

Not that is a solution to your problem, but a word of advice, upgrade the 98 machines to 2000. Will save a lot of time and hassle in the long run!

I suspect it is something to do with Kerberos but can't seem to pin down what Policy I need to change. Changed loads and still can't login with a password on Win 98 machines. Okay with no password at all!
Something is different between Win2k3 and Win2k server.

Have you run the "dsclient" program from the 2000 server disk? this gives win 9x access to the AD where the usernames are stored, dsclient is not on the 2003 disk (bit naughty by microsoft)
