Force win98 to authenticate to domain before use?

Does anyone know of any microsoft or third party tools/applications to force
users on win98 machines to authenticate against a domain controller before
using the machine?

We have a stand alone scientific network with a central domain controller
that all machines authenticate against. We also have some older win95 and
win98 machines that cannot be upgraded because of laboratory hardware or
software dependencies. We still need these machines to enforce/require
authentication to the domain controller before use however.

Any suggestions or pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

I think that is part of the solution - and via searches I found other
knowledgebase articles similar to this one (though not exactly this one) -
but it is not clear if this can force authentication or can the user just
click 'cancel' and bypass login? (understanding that if the user has physical
access and can boot from any removable media they are going to be able to
bypass the login and access anything on the disk).

Thanks.

Run regedit, and open this key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Network\Logon

Create a DWORD value "MustBeValidated" and set it to 1.



Jim.

Ah - thanks - that was the last piece of the puzzle.

I have an old version of 98 and and have downloaded the Dsclient but to
install it but it needs the 2.0 installer. The 2.0 installer needs a service
pak. I have not been able to locate it. Is it still available?
