A (long) while back when I moved to a 2003 domain I had to install an update for Windows 95 computers to access directory services on the domain - I think it was called DSClient for Windows 95. If I remember right it requires an updated msi installer for Windows 95 to install the DSclient. Then when you run the install it just copies the setup files to the computer and you have to go run the setup again to actually install it.
Or something like that, it was a while back. After installing it the Windows 95 computers had no trouble authenticating to the 2003 domain. -----Original Message----- From: Bill Monicher [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, January 20, 2009 5:13 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Access share on W2K server from W95 box Hi, To anticipate the objection, yes it must be W95. The reason is complex, but the machine is doing machine control work using Arcnet. There are no Arcnet drivers for later OSs. Currently, the machine is in a workgroup that has the same name as an NT 4 domain. They are the last two machines that show up on the NT4 DC's Server Manager applet. The shares exist on a server in a W2K domain, which trusts (and is trusted by) the NT4 domain. If I log on locally to the W95 box, I can access resources on the server, but ONLY IF THE NT4 PDC IS RUNNING. Can I not somehow configure a W95 machine to access resources on a W2K domain? Any ideas would be appreciated. When the NT4 PDC is down, I get: Error 2215 The logon server cannot be found. Even with Everyone:C permissions set on the share, I get The password is invalid for \\XBRQLZ1\TESTBM. For more information, contact your network administrator. I have tried: Putting the machine in a workgroup called WORKGROUP. Logging on as a different account.
