Active Directory Install for Win98 1

[Sensibilium]

Hi all,

I have an issue with a Windows98 client on my network (Client/Server - SBS2000), in that the network connection is really slow between itself and the server (every other Win98 client runs top speed), I'm not sure of what is causing this problem, but I do remember installing AD Services for Win98 on that machine ages back, and I believe this could be causing the slowdown.

So, does anyone how to uninstall Active Directory Services for Win98 please?

I already posted this in the Win98 forum, but have had no response. I have put it here as the setup files were actually downloaded from the Windows2000 site.

Cheers. Ahdkaw

How in the world can you install Active Directory on a Window 98 OS?

Well, good question, but I do have the install files, which I got from Microsoft about a year or two ago...

I'll search for a link and show you. Ahdkaw

might be able to help you. It is for NT4.0, but might be usable for 98 Vince Grice

After a quick search at microsoft I discovered that they no longer have it on their site.

The name of the install file is 'ads98.exe' and here is what Google comes up with:

Still no method of uninstalling though... Ahdkaw

you shouldnt need to have any thhing installed to use win98 on a 2k domain. the first dc installed on a 2k domain becomes a pdc emulator to enable legacy os's to login so i would try to uninstall that prog and see what happens

Ah but you see, I installed it before I had a W2K server, just to see what it was more than anything else. Curiosity killed the cat and all that, eh?

vgrice, what do you mean the files are on the 2000 CD? What are the files? Where are they? Do they successfully uninstall AD services for Win98? A bit more info would be helpful, thank you. =) Ahdkaw

All that I can find mentioned is that you uninstall DSCLIENT.EXE from ADD/REMOVE programs. I guess you have tried that?.

(What it is for those interested - Details are on)

Have you tested the nic? I'd try that first, before I start changing software. DSCLIENT.EXE is correct. I've never used it, but I've got it burned on a cd in case I want to use it. Mixed enviorment here, never had a need for it. Good luck. Glen A. Johnson
