I am not familiar with Mac logons to a Windows domain, but by default Windows
2003 requires smb signing which Mac may not be able to accommodate. If you go
into the appropriate security policy such as domain controller for domain
controller and domain or local for other domain members look for the option
server:digitally sign communications (always) and set it to disable. That would
be in security options under security settings/local policies. You may also have
to take a look at your lan manager authentication level security option. W2K by
default is configured to send lm and ntlm responses which is the least secure,
but most compatible. I don't know what Mac's use as authentication protocol -
probably ntlm?? --- Steve

I have added Registry Entries to enable Kerberos logging but still don't see any
entries.

Please contact your system administrator."
