Please also note that although you can use a Windows 98
clients in the domain, they
won't have full functionality (won't have full
functionality of WSS/companyweb
either due to not being able to use Office 2003,) and you
will have to manually
configure clients networking, configure it to logon to the
2003 domain. In
addition, there are many other issues with legacy clients
as mentioned in: 823659
Client, Service, and Program Incompatibilities That May
Occur When You -
<http://support.microsoft.com/?id=823659>.

It is also recommended that you install the updated
DSclient (the one included in
the SBS 2K3 setup CD cannot be installed on 98 clients) on
the 98 clients.

More detailed information can be found in the KB article
below:

¡¤ 323466 Availability of the Directory Services
Client Update for Windows 95 and

¡¤ 226144 NetBIOS Domain Name Field Has a 15
Character Length Limitation -
<http://support.microsoft.com/?id=226144>

After installing the updated DSclient on 98 clients (you
may need to wait for some
time after the 9x clients' start until the computer lists
are synced,) I can then
view and share the shared computers in 'Network
Neighborhood' ¨¤ Entire Network ¨¤
SBS 2K3 domain, but, the 9x clients still fail to show up
there.

You may also have to configure server to turn off
SMBsigning as well. For more
