Hi,
I wondered if anyone could tell me what requirements are necessary for a client to log on to an NT4 domain. I'm looking at it from a troubleshooting point of view, whereby a user reports "I cannot log on"

- PDC/BDC must be running
- User must have a domain User Account
- Host must have fixed ID or DHCP Server Must be running.
- Wins must be running or client must have a hosts file.
- Physical/Wireless connection to the server

Have i missed anything or got anything wrong? I'm also not sure about DNS if WINS is running.

In addition to the user account, the computer must be a domain member.

Is DNS a requirement or will WINS be enough on an NT4 domain?
