Windows 98 in a Windows 2000 Domain

[Guest]

Hi,

I am having a problem and I can find no resolution.

I have recently put into place 2 domain controllers at 2 remote sites to help take the load off off my central location's domain controllers for authentication. I have also created shares and user directories onto these servers and moved all the remote users files onto the appropriate servers. I created logon scripts that map the users at these remote sites to these shares and home directories. I have also repointed the My Documents icon to the users home directory on the WIndows 98 machines. The Windows 2000 machines map the drive prefectly.

Here is the problem:

The Windows 200 machines are all functioning properly, but the Windows 98 machines have this problem. They keep locking out the users account when the user clicks on a mapped drive or the My Documents icon. This ONLY happens to the 98 machines of the users where I put the 2 domain controllers. All the other sites that have 98 machines that access the Central office servers still work 100%. I sit there and watch in "AD Users and Computers" as the user account gets locked out when I tell them to click on the drive or the My documents.

This is what I have done to troubleshoot:

I have checked the permissions for the shares and the folder security and all are set properly.
I tried loading DS Client on the 98 Machines
All Servers are on Service Pack 4
I have checked DNS for any thing Odd

At this point, I am at a loss. My Windows 98 users at the remote sites are getting frustrated. HELP!!!!!

Any help or guidance is MOST appreciated.

Thanks in advance
Please Email me any solution you may have

Do you have a WINS server running? If so, is the network
settings on the 98 machines setup correctly with the dns
and wins addresses?

Thanks for the feedbackback

I do have a WINS server running and the 98 machines pick up the WINS address from the DHCP scope I have for each site.
It also picks up the DNS servers as well from the DHCP scope settings.

Any other suggestions.
