Re: joining a Windows 89SE Client to Windows 2003 Server standard edit

[Tony]

Windows SBS 2003 will not let you use the http://server_name/connectcomputer
with anything earlier than Windows 2000. You can connect the Windows 98SE
client up to the Domain and even attach to Shares but you will need to set
it up manually on the Windows 98SE machine.

First I'd Suggest going to XP Pro you are much better off.
But I understand that there a some "Mission Critical Apps" that only run on
98
*yes it's sad isn't it.. (I have a lot of Non Profit Groups I support)

Just go to the WORKGROUP Domain Secotion of 98SE and change it to the SBS's
Domain.

You may have to add the DSClient to the 98 box to get full/semi
functionality.
