Windows 2000 Server: Connection from Windows95/98
 |
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.
