Question (short version):
One server, 9 clients
1) Win2k3 server (first edition) allows for Windows 98 clients to join; it did not
require the directory services client to be installed on the win98 clients; I think
it did this by turning off the security features on the entire domain somehow. It
has this option when you set up AD on a new server, that was the only way to do it
i think. Can R2 do this, on a new installation, also? I would like to understand
better what the differences are (I am trying to read about the client and what it
does.)
2) Is it possible that enabling Windows 98 compatibility for a domain might optimize
an older database's performance? Our software, Dentrix, uses a Ctree database, and
it runs much faster over the network on a workgroup or over my first domain than
it does on the new one we just put in.
I think if it is set up this way I can still use Group policy and share level permission
which is plenty enough for me, but maybe not for the PCI security council and all
of their new rules :(
