Native mode 2000 domain. With mix of Win2k pro,XP,and 98
clients. Any new accounts (user)created can not logon to
the 98 machines, but all old accounts can? Any idea?
 
Do you have any special password policies for the new users? I know that you would not be able to log on to one of the 98 clients with, say, a 10 character password.
 
Native mode Active Directory does not support Windows 98 machines on the Domain(they are not treated as computers on the domain, so Domain user access will not work), only Windows 2000 and higher
To support Windows 98 machines you would've had to select Mixed Mode when setting up the Active Directory...changing to Native mode is a one way operation..no going back to mixed mode without wiping the Active Directory and starting from scratch.
 
Actually we fixed the Problem. We are in Native mode,
the problem was an undefined Group Policy in both Domain
and Domain Controller. It was the NOLMHASH we need to set
to 0. After that our issues went away.

I would take issue with this. The 'mode' of a WIN2000 Domain has absolutely
nothing to do with what clients are or are not available for use in that
domain.

Native Mode in WIN2000 simply does not allow for WINNT 4.0 BDCs. Mixed Mode
in WIN2000 does allow for WINNT 4.0 BDCs. It is that simple. Naturally,
there are a few things that become available when you make the one-time
switch from Mixed Mode to Native Mode, such as Universal Groups and Group
Nesting. But, again, that has absolutely nothing to do with what clients
are or are not available in a WIN2000 AD Domain.

HTH,
