We have a NT4.0 PDC and 3 NT4.0 BDC servers, we have added 6 win 2K pro pc to the network of 23 win 98 pc's. Users move around to diferent pc's.
How can we get the user manes and passwords from the win NT servers to the win 2K Pro pc's. If one user changes there password on a 2K pro pc it changes on the servers, but not on the other 2K PRO PC'S. Help?

Hi,

Did all 6 Win2K Pro PCs correctly join the domain?

It may be worth your while re-joining them. I've seen problems of this nature resolved by simply re-joining...

Cheers,
Tim.

Reauthenticate a workstation:
For that remove from Server Manager the workstation name from list. Log on workstation with local with local admin rights and in network properties set as member of workgroup. Reboot computer. Log on again as local admin and set as member of domain and set the option . Give the information about name and password of the Domain Admin. Reboot computer.
Also be sure that your users don't use local accounts and when they change the password, they must have only one login on one workstation.
From server manager try manualy synchronize all BDC with PDC and see events log if this operation was performed.

sounds like a timing issue. when the user changes their password the PDC & BDCs will have to replicate so no matter which server authenticates it has the same user details.

From memory I think it is every 12 minutes it tries to replicate.
