Adding Wiin98 Computer to NT4 Domain

You can add a Win98 machine to the domain by adding the "Client for Microsoft Networks" client and entering the name of the field on the properties tab. Be sure that the client is your Primary Network Logon. A trust relationship cannot be applied inthis scenario. Note that any shares that you establish on the Win98 machine will not be secure. Maybe you should keep the application's data on one of the NT machines. hhp

Just to add a little to the above answer, 9x can be configured on a domain. If you are wanting to do this, I would make sure you have some form of Firewall in place, as well as a backup form of security for the 9x enviroment (third party). Also, I would suggest doing All saves to a shared NT volume. Save nothing on the Machine that you wouldn't want someone else to have. However, it is quite easy to join the 9x box to the domain..good Luck - Al

Below is some hints about Window NT and Window 98.

1)Add the Computer in the Server Manager.
2)Install the Client for Microsoft Network. configure the client logon as the NT domain
3)Change the Workgroup Name to the domain name in the Indentification tap of Network Neighbour(This may the Window 98 Client able to see the PDC)
4)Attention: Some information about folder sharing. If you want to creat a share folder for Window 98 Client.Please make sure the folder name follow the rules xxxxx.xxx(mostly 8.3 rules)
If you create a share name longer. Window 98 Client dont able to see the share folder.

Are you all on crack ?

Yes you can very easily "add" your 98 or 95 machines to any NT Domain. Just double click on the "Client for Microsoft Networks" in your network applet. Check tht "Log On To NT Domain" box and then type in the name of your NT domain. Reboot and logon with a valid NT username and passsword.

If this takes you more then 5 minutes, you will have to turn in your badge and pocket protector - you are no longer a computer nerd.

And yes there are security concerns when saving files to the 9x machine but if I am right this "piece of Software" that only runs on 98 is a game or graphics package and your not worried about security
