We have just gone to Windows 2000 active directory. We have 95% windows 2000 professional computers that have no problems in AD. The 5% win 9X have a hard time finding our domain and getting access. It may take several reboots to get them to see the AD domain. We have put the patch Microsoft advises to place on them. Settings are correct in the protocols as far as I know. We are able to get in after some reboots. We are slowly getting rid of the win 9x computer but I need a fix until then. Any Help getting them to find the domain better?

Depends if you are using the DS Client on the Windows 98 machines?
If not you need WIN servers for resolution and you cannot run using a 'pure' TCP/IP stack.
Download AD Client from

On the win95 clients make sure the control panel>network>identification setting shows the domain as the workgroup. eg: mycompanydomain (15 characters max) for mycompanydomainname.com
95 gets confused easy, and we have found this setting to help in similar situations

Have you reinstalled WINS again and enabled it?
The easiest way is by using DHCP and enabling the WINS scope type there and let the clients pick up the values that way.
I have WINS implemented and it works well - I have the Win2K machines also pointing at the WINS server - Running Win2K server in mixed mode is the only way to do it if ur running Win95/98/Me/NT machines in the organisation (or anything else that uses NETBIOS (certain print servers, shared scanners).
WINS helps the older machines locate all NETBIOS machines.
