Could someone explain to me what the DS client for active directory that is on the WIN2000 server CD is? I installed it on my WIN98 PC and I can't see that it did anything to my WIN98 PC. There is nothing new that I can find.

It allows for seamless connectivity should your Windows 2000 Server have Active Directory Services enabled. If you are using a Windows 2000 server without Active Directory services enabled, you probably won't see a change in your Windows 98 box.

Hi,

The DS clinet for Windows 98 allows the following 2 extra functions within 98.

1. Extra functionality on the start menu with the Search function - allows you to query AD for information on users/printers/computers etc on the network.

2.The ability to change passwords on any Windows 2000 DC (with NT 4 you had to change it on the PDC no matter what).
