I control a BDC but have full DomainAdmin rights. When clients running win 95/98 go to login and enter their new password, the following appears.
"Unable to change password for microsoft networking because of the following error:
The domain controller for the domain can not be found."

Thanks

Terry,

What are your clients using for Name Resolution? Windows 95/98 clients should be pointing to a WINS server with the correct domain entries in it. Which means that your Domain controllers should also be pointing to the same WINS server. If the BDC is running WINS enure that you are pointing the WINS entries to itself. Also check to ensure that the clients are not trying to do name resolution by some type of lmhosts file without the proper entries. Hope this helps.
