Samantha, See the following articles - this may be related to the version of AD client on the 98 workstations. If you aren't running the DS client then it may be the lockout count. Try increasing the number to something like 10.

Seems that if a windows 98 machines hits a Active Directory DC for authentication, it will lockout the machine. If the Windows 98 machines gets a Windows NT 4.0 server it authenticates with no problem. Anyone ever heard of this and do you know of a possible fix.
