2000 Server and 98 Clients - Something wrong!

[tbettend]

I have a machine with W2K Server on it. It is the domain controller (SEATEC1). I am trying to implement roaming user profiles and mapped drives for the clients. At first I was not able to logon to the Domain Controller from the 98 clients because I didn't have the server IP in the client DNS. Fixed that. Now I seem to logon and be authenticated by the domain, although the profiles and shares don't seem to be implemented. I have no mapped drives and the profile isn't picking up.

When loggin on with W2K professional clients everything is fine. It maps the profile, including the desktop and all that, and the my documents folder, and also maps the drive I set up in the user profile in Active Directory Users and Computers Console. I can't seem to figure out why this isn't working. Does anyone have any suggestions? I have all protocols installed on the client, these are also on the same network, they can see each other fine in network neighborhood. I think thats all the info, also I have the user the in the Pre-Windows 2000 access group, oh, and the computer is also in active directory. Help PLEASE!!

Thanks!

Have you enabled user profiles in the control panel on each of the 9x clients?

Look here for more detail:

Understand that NT clients and 9x clients use roaming profiles differently...

I also forgot to mention, Mapped drives will have to be added manually, or via login script for the 9x clients. Enabling the home drive in the users properties (in AD Users & Computers) will map a drive on a NT (4.0, 2k) client during login, but not for 9x.

Thanks Ya_Know! I'll try that.
