Hi Ed,

Windows 2000 and newer (Windows XP) can work without any problem in Windows
2003 network and vice-versa.

Windows 2003 active directory uses SMB signing and encryption for additional
security. To also gain other features of active directory in Win9x clients
you have to install Active Directory client.
Active Directory Client Extensions for Windows 95/98 and Windows NT 4.0

I hope this helps,

Mike
