2003 login problems
I have a single server running 2003. It is a fresh install. I have a mix of work stations... win98, win2k, and XP Pro. some, but not all, of my Win2k and XP work station can not login. I get a message that says the domain can not be reached or account information in not valid. If I log in as Admin to the local machine and explore the workgroup I can see the server and even attach to it using different domain login names. Why is this? Why can I not log directly into the domain but I am bale to attach to the server thru the workgroup?
is all your workstations on the same subnet?

Yes. They are all on the same sub-net. Nothing on the workstations have changed. I previoulsy had a Win2k server and I did a clean install of Win2003 on it.
Your LOGIN.BAT file should be in your NETLOGON directory: ie. \\SERVERNAME\netlogon
It's located in C:\WINDOWS\SYSVOL\SYSVOL\D
When you say FRESH install... what does this mean? Upgraded your current Machine to W3K server or introduced a new server into the AD?
When you try to add the machine to the DOMAIN from the LOCAL admin login,what is it saying to you?

I didn't have to change the domain, maybe that is my problem.
My Win2k server HD crashed, so I installed new HD's in the server and installed Win2003 and gave it the same domain name as before. I have not changed anything on the workstations. I set 2003 with the same DHCP scheme.

I had to disjoin the domain and reconnect. Once I did that I could log in however it created a new profile on the workstation so I had to do some creative copying of the original profiles.
