When attempting to log on to an NT4 domain from Win98 workstations, users receive error message of "The domain password you supplied is not correct, or access to logon server has been denied." The PW is correct, and after 3-5 attempts, they are eventually able to log on and access network resources. The workstations have static IP addresses, use WINS for NetBios resolution, have a new 100mbps switch on the network, and no trailing spaces exist within the computer name or after the name. Any ideas as to why this error message is happening. The server and the Win98 workstations are brand new.

This happened to one of my clients when they were out of client access licenses. You may want to check out License Manager just to see.

this was a brand new server with ten client access licenses. Licensing was not an issue. If it had been, I would have received a stop message in the event viewer addressing running out of licenses.

My experience has been that many times this is a simple physical connection problem, even when intermittent. Assuming all others connected to the switch are not having the same problem, test the cable from the pc back to the switch.

The cable was ruled out, as this did logon issue did not happen with their old server.
