I do not have the client installed on all the workstations, although I do have it installed on one machine and it replicates the same problems.

Win9x needs to talk to the PDC emulator considerably if you don't have the AD client installed. -----Original Message----- From: Adam Romain [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, November 21, 2001 4:29 AM To: NT 2000 Discussions Subject: Domain controller problems Hi list, I have a particular domain which is split into two sites with a server in each site. In site 'A', the first site, everything is running fine. In site 'B' I seem to be having netBios/Domain controller problems. The topology is as such: company.com dom.company.com Site A Site B Site A and B are connected through a 64k VPN. I have an IP connector and DNS is running fantastically. I have Exchange server running and that is working a treat. The pre-windows 2000 domain name is DOM Server in site A is called sitea01 and server in site B is called siteb01. Site A's subnet is 192.168.1.0/24 and Site B's subnet is 172.16.1.0/24 I do not have WINS running but I do have LMHOSTS files on each workstation. NetBios seems to be okay, but I'm not sure. The workstations are windows 98, they get a a DHCP address and they can ping the servers fine. Enough of the background, here's the problem:- Whenever a 98 workstation in Site B logs on to the Domain, it takes a lot longer than those in site B. When users in Site B are asked to change their passwords, it fails and the users gets the error message "The domain controller for this domain could not be found". It seems like the server in Site B is not acting like a domain controller, even though it has the ADS service running. 2000 clients are working a treat. What could be wrong ?
