I have configured Domain Controller on Windows 2000 Server. But in the Active Directory Users and Computers, it is not showing me the client COMPUTERS having Windows 98 Operating System though the computer are Authenticating with the server. What should I do besides adding New -> Computer

Windows 9x does not actually join a domain. They are more like Guest computers.

Thanks a lot for the reply. But is there no way that I can view those computers in the Active Directory so that I can view the Operating System used, Version and Service Pack installed etc. ?

Here is a link to Microsoft's Active Directory plugin for older operating systems: <a target="_blank" href=http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=7c219dcc-ec00-4c98-ba61-fd98467952a8&DisplayLang=en>Link</a>
