Windows 98 in a Windows2008 Active Directory?
I was running Windows 2000 server since long time with several Clients running Windows 98. Now I moved my server to the new windows 2008 active directory. Process went fine without any problems but my Clients are no more able to login to the new domain. Whenever they try logging in, they get the following error message:
"Domain password you supplied is not correct or access to your logon server is denied"
I thought installing “dsclint” may help but no success. Somebody please help.

There is nothing to worry Franseza. It is a very well know problem after upgrading the domains. Hence Microsoft has already posted a knowledge base Article describing:
“How to enable Windows 98/ME/NT clients to logon to Windows 2003 based Domains” http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555038.
It applies for Windows 2008 as well.

Here are some additional Articles about earlier OS in 2008:

Above articles may help you for sure but as a suggestion i'll say you to atleast upgrade the client PCs also from 98 to atleast XP. These older OS (out of lifetime) will not be tested on newer server OS.
