I don't have any experience with a setup like yours, but from what I know there
are a lot of security settings - particularly security options in security
policy that can cause issues with downlevel clients. In particular would be
network access:do not allow anonymous access to sam and sam and shares, network
security:lan manager authentication level, and the four digitally sign
communication options.
In Domain Controller Security Policy try setting network access: do not allow
anonymous access to sam and sam and shares to disabled, network security:lan
manager authentication level to send ntlmv2 responses only, and for the four
digitally sign communications options make sure the two "always" are disabled
and the two "whenever possible" are disabled until the problem is resolved. Also
make sure that the W2003 servers are also wins clients. The other thing I would
try on the W98 machines that you have installed AD client on is to modify the
registry for their lan manager authentication level to the "3" level and enable
them for smb signing [digitally sign communications]. The links below may be of
help. -- Steve
