How do you force a login on with the operating systems win98 or win95.
When using Novell you can force a login with a check box on the advance tab, but I will not be using Novell much longer (going NT all the way)but I cannot find how you can force a login within 98 or 95. ?(With 2000 I am not worried about security because its already there).
Any Ideas.

Hi. You can force Win9x PC's to log onto the network with a registry edit:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Network\Logon\MustBeValidated (DWORD=1)

You may have to add the DWORD; Double click to change the value if needed. One forces the logon to the network and Zero allows the user to cancel past the network logon. This works with both Novell and NT--have used for both server types as we went from Novell to NT 4 and then 2K. Good luck! =)

The only way to force a login from win9X into Nt is to change the registry by forcing
the must be validated to 1

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Network\Logon\MustBeValidated (DWORD=1)

If you currently have novell, you can make this registry change at next logon, using the nwregistry editor , if not you must connect to remote registry and import the value.
Do you know how to export and import a key, no?
Hope it helps!
