Windows 2000 Server: Connection from Windows95/98

The connection from a Windows 95/98 system to a
Windows2000 server is confgured almost identical
to the Connection of a Windows95/98 system to a
NT4 Domain Server when using the Windows95/98
Network clients provided with Windows95/98
without the Windows9x Direcory Service Upgrade:

	In a first step, configure the Windows95/98 system for Workgroup networking: 1) use same protocol as on the Win2000 server 2) if you use TCP/IP, make sure that you can PING the Windows2000 server from your Windows95/98 system. 3) define as name of the Workgroup the Domain NetBIOS name, as defined during the configuration of the Active Directory (in my example: JHHOME )
	make sure, that you can see your Windows2000 server in the "Network Neighborhood"
	Once your username has been defined in the Windows 2000 Server User Management and you have made the Logon to your Windows95/98 system at startup with that username, you are able to access a shared resource on the server. You are accessing the server in "Workgroup Networking mode" If you get such an IPC$ error message, then your username was not yet defined or you did not use the proper username and Password at the startup of your system.
	To take advantage of executing a logon script, your Windows95/98 system has to make a "Logon to the Domain Server": In the Network configuration, select the "Client for Microsoft Networks", and display the properties to: - put a checkmark on "Log on to a Windows NT domain" - enter as Windows NT domain the Domain NetBIOS name, as defined during the configuration of the Active Directory and used above already as your workgroup name.

You will need to restart your system and will then get the Domain Logon prompt:

During logon, a logon-script will be execute in case it was defined for this username.
