Also, remember that Win98 and NT 4.0 still use NetBIOS name resolution and
that DNS has no bearing on them finding the Domain Controllers. You will
still need to have a WINS server and enabled NetBIOS over TCP/IP on the
2003 Servers.

| Hello Lamar,
|
| your NT and W98 Workstations will be working, the only thing you have to
take
| care of is the increased security. The domain and/or forest functional
level
| does not effect clients or member server - it's just for the DCs.
|
| However, to enable your clients to work with the AD Domain in a more
performant
| way MS recommends to install the Active Directory Client (it's different
| between NT and W9x).
