Windows 98 Network Logon Problem

Exchange 2000 Server was recently installed on our network (our 5 servers are currently running on Windows 2000 Server). Prior to that we were using Exchange 5.5 but since Exchange2K was installed, all our computers running Windows 98SE are unable to logon to the network, i.e. they do not recognise the domain name.

The error message that pops up when trying to logon is as follows:
The domain password you supplied is not correct or access to your logon server has been denied.

The only way around this logon problem is to replace the domain name with the IP Address of our logon server when the logon prompt appears on startup.

Is anyone able to help us?

Not specifically. I've only been reading about this and haven't done it yet. I have no experience with your problem and am currently still running Exchange 5.5. This response is only to get you thinking, maybe. Consider this post only until you get a better response from somebody else.

It's clear you have an IP address resolution problem.

I've seen these suggestions:

A) Enable WINS and NetBIOS over TCP/IP to support your legacy clients.

B) Install another NIC on w2k server and enable WINS resolution for that NIC card.

C) Go to AD user and computers; right click Domain controller properties /group policy/edit/windows settings/security settings/local polcies/security option ...and then click LAN MANAGER AUTHENTICATION LEVEL and set it to "SEND LM & NTLM response" and then restart the domian controller.

Maybe this applies.
