failed logon\incorrect passwords.

We have just migrated to windows 2000, we are running 24
directory servers with approx 13000 win98 machines.
Periodically a user cannot logon and is given the
incorrect password message even though the password is
correct. The account doesnt lock out after numerous
attempts, but with a reboot the user can then login. The
same user can try on a different machine and login
successfully. Even after resetting passwords the user
cannot login to the particular machine. Any ideas would
be helpful.
Thanks
Matt
 
Non-specific answer:

Have you installed the "Active Directory Client Upgrade",
aka, DSClient on the problematic clients?
 
There's a copy for Win9x on the Server CD-ROM but
(I think) there might be a later update on the MS website
downloads. Search for DSClient.

Different one for NT clients is NOT on the CDROM.
 
I found the latest on MSN website. Do you think this
will fix our problem or is this just a good place to
start?

It is definitely a good place to start and useful upgrade in
any case.

If it were my network, I would expect it MIGHT fix the
problem.

I know it's worth trying -- and worth having anyway.
