help meeeee... =P NT4 BDC problem.. posted this at operating systems and had no reply.. maybe some OT people can help.

[phatcow]

I have a NT4 PDC basec network with 90 windows 2000 clients. I then put in a couple windows 98 machines,. and they all authenticated fine.

I recently installed a windows NT4 server BDC on the network. The 2000 machines can authenticate fine with the BDC and PDC, but my windows 98 machines, when they authenticate with the BDC, they error out and give a microsoft networking error "the domain password you supplied is not correct, or access to your logon server has been denied"

I unplug the BDC from the network, so only the pdc is authenticating, and the windows 98 machines authenticate fine.


what am i doing wrong?

thanks

Tell us more about your Domain Controller names and which protocols you are using.

Are you receiving any errors on the BDC like:

Error synchronizing with primary domain controller [whatever PDC name is]

Believe it or not, if the system clocks are way out of sync, this can happen.

Error logs - sounds like they aren't syncing properly.

 

How long have you given the BDC to replicate the PDCs sam?

yeah... I agree with the time issue...

make a batch file run as a scheduled task with a time sync command:

net time \\Server_Name /SET /YES

Where Server_name is your PDC. I'd run it on your BDC like once per hour to make sure they are perfectly sync'd
