Hello Steve!
Thank you very much for your inspiration, now I've found a way to get
things working.
For the log in and fileshare problem the solution was to simple turn
NTLMv2 Authentication on.
To get the System policies working there is a really fine KB article
(How To Create a System Policy Setting in Microsoft Windows Server 2003
found here: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;814598)
Now all things are working I can go home :D
