We are a network of approx. 150 nodes. A couple of weeks ago we had a power shutdown of our site, since that time, probably a dozen Win98 boxes, after a shutdown and restart only get the two-tier Windows logon instead of the three-tier domain logon.To get around the problem of logging on to the domain, you must either enter your Windows password and say 'OK', or hit cancel, let the box finish it's startup, then logoff, and you immediately receive the three-tier domain logon! We have tried editing the msdos.sys and looking in the registry for autologon values. The nic cards are configured to logon to the domain, we are at a loss for ideas here. Everything else works normally. Help please!

Have you tryed deleteing these win98 computers from the server manager ? or try removing print and file share then adding print and file share back later ?

Thanks for the suggestion, I will try it, although a:Win9x boxes cannot join a domain, therefore they cannot be managed by Server Manager for NT and b:I'm not sure why disabling and enabling File and Print Sharing would have an effect on the Win9x box logging on to a domain. I will give your suggestions a shot though. Thanks.

Seems that the solution/workaround was to add NetBEUI to the machines that were having trouble.
