Windows 9.x Clients Personal Directories Not Being Mounted When Logging into a Windows 2000 Server Environment

We have a network here with a majority of Windows 2000 clients but we do have a few Windows 9.x clients still functioning. When users login to their accounts from a Windows 2000 workstation their personal directory on the server is mounted. However, when the same user logs in from a Windows 9.x client the mount is not done.

What needs to be done in order to fix this? When we had NT 4.0 server the 2000 and Windows 9.x machines could all mount the directories with no problem.

We had the same problem with down level clients trying to log into a Windows 2000 domain. Some clients would not connect but all 2000 clients were fine. Try and remove everything including the NIC, join a workgroup and add all the services back. It took a couple of times but it finally worked.
