We just upgraded a DC to w2k, running in mixed mode. There are 2 NT4 BDCs left on the network, and there is one w2k member server. I’ve added NT4emuulator registry key per MS article Q284937.
Most of our clients are win 98. Some, but not all, have trouble logging on to the network. After typing the password in, the hour glass sits for a minute then message box says bad password or no server. It takes a few tries before they connect.
DHCP is running on the two BDCs, and WINS is running on all servers. I’ve added the new server to DHCP scope for DNS & WINS. Clients are configured with “use DHCP for WINS” option.
The only other oddity is that the w2k DC is very slow when browsing the network. We used to have the same problem with the w2k member server, but that has resolved after I added the registry key and rejoined it to the domain.
Any suggestions are appreciated.
