    The issue is that a Domain Controllers running windows 2003 server has
    the security setting titled Microsoft Network Server: Digitally Sign
    Communications is set to always by default on windows 2003 domain
    controllers. When this setting is set to always digitally sign
    communications you will not be able to access SMB shares from a mac.
    To disable that setting you need to fire up your active directory
    users and computers, then right click on domain controllers then click
    on the group policy tab, and then double click your domain controller
    group policy. From there you need to click windows settings, then
    security settings then local policies, then security options you will
    find this setting in this list. Set it to disabled, which is less
    secure but without making this change you can not connect to SMB
    shares from a mac on a windows 2003 domain controller.

    Hope that helps.
