Added Windows 2003 DC to 2000 Domain
I am working on a network that previously contained a Windows 2000 PDC and a Windows 2003 BDC which also had Exchange 2003 on it.
Last night we demoted the 2003 server from the domain, as we are decommisioning this server...
Next we dcpromo'ed a new 2003 server, and we added DNS and WINS
This morning...We got to the office and many Windows 98 SE machines can no longer logon to the domain.
Any ideas???

I did all the steps in the article and still no luck logging into the domain. I tried all 3 types of SMB signing and no luck on any of them. Any other ideas?
Did you update DHCP with the IP address of the new WINS server?
Just to make sure, there is still a W2K PDC for this domain?

well we gave the new Windows 2003 DC the same ip address as the old BDC so DHCP has the correct IP addresses of
the WINS servers. There was a W2K PDC but we have made W2K3 server the new PDC and there is still a W2K DC on
the network.

is active directory replicating? can you log in with and other client OS?

There are no issues with WinXP, or Win 2k client machines....only 98SE
Did you join the domain with this new server and move the roles or just create a new server with the same domain name?
If you did the latter, then the domain SID is not the same as the old one and therefore it is a new domain. You'll need to recreate DNS if this is the case since all the GUIDs will be different.

If you maintained the domain, did you install the DSCLIENT on these 98 boxes?
you didnt touch the functionaliy mode did you? the domain should be sitting on mixed mode for 98 clients to log in, native mode will restrict this and is irreversible check under the domain properties

Ok,
We added a new domain contoller and then moved the roles over. We did not add a new domain. I did install
DSCLIENT on the 98 boxes with no luck. We did not change the functionality it has been 2000 native. It was 2000 native
before we added the new domain contoller, Windows 98 SE should be able to login to a 2000 native domain.

Try putting one of your test users into the Users container in AD rather than in an OU. Can you log in using that account?

Just figured it out...it was a pretty stupid thing...The server name was over 8 characters and 98 hated it...
