First off, I admit that I have little knowledge of Win2k. I installed the
trial edition that came with Technet, played around with it for a little,
and haven't messed with it since. My organization is still with NT 4.0, and
we aren't migrating for a while.
But: You say you have PDCs and BDCs, so I'm assuming that you've added the
Win2K machines to the domain. (Then again, you also said you wanted Win9x
from Dell, so I'm not sure)
In my quick tests with Win2k, I remember that Win2k machines responded to
Server Manager (Showed up as NT 5.0). If the RPC is still left as default,
and you haven't forced Kerebros authentication, the solution is simple.
>From Server Manager on an NT 4.0 server, highlight the Win2K machine.
Go to File --> Services. (Double clicking on the Win2k machine won't do
it)
Stop the SNMP Service, and change the start-up to disabled. All done.
If the Win2k machines aren't on an NT domain, but you have the
administrative passwords, it can still be done, but it's trickier.
The Win2k resource kit might have a few tools that would be useful, too.
Hope it helps,
