?? For only Win9x clients, yes. For NT workstations as PDC members you do
need encrypted PWs. For NT workstations not PDC members you don't, but
then you need the registry patches. Using encrypted passwords, no registry
patch is necessary, neither for Win9x nor for NT.

NT server can only act as a PDC or BDC. It can't be a simple NT
(workstation) domain member AFAIK.
