Hi People,

I had Win98 clients in a network using a single domain. These clients belonged to the domain and were inside a workgroup called lab. Now after making upgrade to win2k pro in these clients, I really don't know how to put them again backinto that workgroup lab in such a way that they belong also to the domain. I've tried in the My computer properties and also in Network neighborhood and they can't accept a workgroup inside a domain. My PDC is still Backoffice Server 4.5.
How do Iknow that?
And also how do I clean all the menu in the Win2kpro start menu and schedule its turn on and turn off automatically using task scheduler? How can I turn off a WinMe client using a command instead of clicking start ...

Thanks,

Paulo

Due to the structure of security in 98 and 2000, the machines cannot be part of a domain and workgroup at the same time, 2000 will delegate all the security options to the Domain Controller, so should 98, so not really sure what the original config was, but you cannot have both workgroup and domain in w2kpro.
