[ActiveDir] W2K DC's to W2K3

[Simpsen, Paul A. (HSC)]

After upgrading our DC’s to 2003 (actually rebuilds) everything is running smoothly EXCEPT for win95. (Possibly 98 also) I know that they are no longer supported, and haven’t been for some time, but we are a University. We do have a deadline of Jan 1 that all 9x machines be gone. But until then we have to deal with their problems, saying they are no longer supported just doesn’t cut it. The problem I am dealing with first showed up through Ghost boot disks using DOS getting access denied errors. We have given the campus a work around for this but in further testing it seems that from a 95 client (98 & NT4 haven’t been tested yet) you cannot do a net view to the 2003 DC’s but can to our 2 remaining 2000 DC’s in a remote site. Does 2003 handle NET XXXX API commands differently? After extensive research we have only found and tried a few things, one being enabling anonymous LDAP access (straight from TUNA Cookbook) good book by the way. And also enabled the security setting of   Network access: Let Everyone permissions apply to anonymous users. It appears that neither change has helped, any ideas would be appreciated.     ********************************************************************   Paul Simpsen Windows Server Administrator Enterprise Systems, IT University of Oklahoma HSC 405.271.2262 ext 50230 Fax: 405.271.2181   ******************************************************************** CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This e-mail communication and any attachments may contain confidential and privileged information for the use of the designated recipients named above.
