Subject: problems w/ 98 Clients
Date: Thu, 18 Dec 2003 15:42:21 -0800
Hey Gang,
I have been reading through the threads on this in several 
MS newsgroups and posted messages in those newsgroups 
requesting assistance.  I have been dealing with this 
problem since Monday and have been feverishly researching 
a solution.
Here is what I have come up with so far:
1. At the Windows Server 2003 system, Enter at a cmd 
prompt:  net config server /autodisconnect:-1
2. For Windows 95 workstations, do the following at the 
Windows Server 2003 system:
Default Domain Policy:  Account Lockout Threshold, 
increase to 15 or more.
Default Domain Policy:  Microsoft Network Clients .. 
Digitally Sign Communication Always - Set to Disabled
3. For Windows 98SE / ME / NT4.0 clients, check out the 
following:
support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;814598
I would appreciate knowing if these solutions worked for 
you.
Regards,
Frank
