Help - Domain Controller for W2K issues.

[Guest_imported]

OK. Here's my situation:

Right now, I have four computers, one server that is running as a
Domain controller (under W2K Server). Other computers are running W2K Pro. What I would like to do is try to get all the other four omputers to connect to W2K Server directly (kind of like dumb erminals) when it's booted up so the passwords that I set up at the domain controller server works properly.

If I am doing this wrong, please let me know. I searched Google for answers but couldn't find any. I am posting this to ask for some information. Please do _not_ flame me, because there is no reason to. I'm simply looking for some help here folks. What do I need to do in order to make this work correctly (I've finally solved the HP problem. *Future reference: DO *NOT* plug your printer on UPS - the printers
draw a lot of power, and UPS is not enough.*)

so you want to Auto-Logon? If that's the case, then make/edit these registry edits:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
"DefaultDomainName"="Your-NetBios-Domain-Name"
"DefaultUserName"="Your-User-Account-Name"
"DefaultPassword"="Your-User-Account-Password"
"AltDefaultUserName"="Your-User-Account-Name"
"AltDefaultDomainName"="Your-NetBios-Domain-Name"
"AutoAdminLogon"="1"
"ForceAutoLogon"="1"

No, I was looking for a way for the workstation to access the server so the server can be primary contact for data and stuff.

Like, the login to WFFWIN2K (servername) from one of the workstations upon startup.

Are you talking about Home Directory mapping??

Check your NetID on your Workstations. Right click my computer go to prop. and go to NetId. Make sure they are joined to the domain. Then I would suggest to set their IP address as on the same network. (ie- server-192.168.1.1, WKS1-192.168.1.2, WKS2-192.168.1.3, and so on. Then when you log on you will have an option to log on local (SAM) or through your domain (AD). Select the domain on the drop down menu and use the admin account and you should be able to access any shared data on your server.

To share data on your server, right-click the folder(s) you wish to share and set the properties to share. By default everyone has full access.

To view the shared data on your WKS go to my network places, microsoft windows network, "domain name", and vola!

Hope I helped. Good luck!
