Hi Wes.
First make sure that the 2 W2003 domain controller and the NT4.0 bdc are also wins
clients.
Then look at the KB's below. One on how to enable smb signing on a W98 computer and
the other on how to enable ntlmv2 on a W98 computer. I would not necessarily do that
on all the computers right away but test it on a couple.

In addition for the mean time in both Domain Security Policy and Domain Controller
Security policy under security options disable both options Microsoft network client:
and server: digitally sign communications (always). Make sure to disable those two
options as not defined will not disable them. Run gpupdate /target:computer /force on
the domain controller when done and reboot a W2K/XP Pro computer to speed up policy
propagation on them.
I don't know if it will help, but it is worth a try as there are many security
options on a W2003 server that can possibly be a problem. By default all user right
assignments are configured in Domain Controller Security Policy but security options
are not except for maybe just a couple so you will have to look in Local Security
Policy on each domain controller to see how security options are configured but I
recommend you make changes in Domain Controller Security Policy so that they will
apply to all domain controllers and document the changes you make.
The link below will give you an idea of other incompatibilities in security policy
that can exist since you have both NT4.0 and W98 computers in the domain. --- Steve
