Something happened in the last few days. I have a
Windows 2K Active Dir
Native Mode network. I have Windows 95/98/2000/XP
clients. I have 5 Domain
Controllers. My PDC Emulator DC (ProblemServer) that
also holds Exchange
5.5 won't athenticate Widnows 95/98 clients. In fact, if
the NETLOGON
service is running on that DC all Windows 95/98 machines
get "The domain
password you supplied is not correct, or access to your
logon server has
been denied." If I stop the NETLOGON service the Windows
95/98 clients
logon find (With the logon script and everything).
Windows 2000/XP client
always logon fine. If I go Start > Run, \\ProblemServer
from Windows 9x I
get "Cannot find \\ProblemServer". Windows 2000/XP are
fine. They can go
Start > Run \\ProblemServer and access shared folders.
All other servers I
can access from Windows 9x by going start > run
\\OtherServer. I can ping
for Windows 9x to ProblemServer. The only thing I can
think that I added to
that server this week is "Exchange 5.5 CDO Patch 2657.55"
to solve an OWA
problem. Any ideas? How do I log logon problems?
Monitor logon problems?
 
I don't know the exact problem but some thoughts. Try accessing share via
\\xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx IP address which would indicate a name resolution problem if
that works. If you are not using it, try installing Client for Directory
Services on one W98 machine to see if it helps. Other things to check are
effective settings for security policy/security options on your server in
particular lan manager authentication level which probably should be set to
"send ntlmv2 Reponses only" if you have it set to refuse ntlm or refuse ntlm/lm
and smb signing options where "require server" digitally sign communications
could cause a problem. It would be a good idea to run dcdiag on that domain
controller looking for any pertinent failed tests. See the links below for more
information. --- Steve
