We have a few 98 machines that we'd like to join to our 2003 domain. What steps do I need to take in order for the 2003 domain to accomodate the 98 machines? I assume I will need to set up WINS etc. Thanks in advance!
 
Windows 98 PCs can not join a Windows 2000 or 2003 domain.
I think that ther was a download from MS that allowed you to join this.
In 2000/2003, 98 machines did not join the domain, IE you can not aply policies to it, (unless you have this download). It can be in a workgroup, and you can log in to the doamin with a valid domain user account, but the PC itself can not join.

I am sorry, but I forget what the name of the download is. Also, it might have only worked for 200 domains. Since Microsft does not want people to use 98 PCs anymore, they might have discontinued this.
