We just migrated to 2003 Server and tried to use the Norton boot disk and now we are getting access is denied. Can?t login in through command line either.

Using the domain admin account Please help!!

If you are using NET USE to attach to a Windows server to a share then you need to turn off SMB Signing to allow legacy machines to login to 2003 servers. See DC GPO to turn it off.

How do I turn off SMB Signing to allow legacy machines to login to 2003 servers. Where in GPO to turn it off.

I could not get it to work. BSD kept coming up. And then when I got it up and working, I still could not attach to the share. says it can not find server. If I bring up WXP station and go to a dos prompt, I can attach to the share and do whatever I want. But that does not help me when I am trying to image a workstation.

Solution
This was researched on our test Windows Server 2003 system which comprised of,

Windows Server 2003 Forest DC
Single DOS boot system using the disk supplied from http://www.nu2.nu/bootdisk/network

We mapped and succesfully accessed/created files fine on a share. This was also tested on a member server and is OK.

Steps used to get the process working,

Change the following in the Default Domain Controller Security Settings,
Domain Member: Digitally encrypt or sign secure channel data (always) - Disable
Microsoft network server: Digitally sign communication (always) - Disable
Add Computer and User accounts to the domain in Active Directory Users and Computers
Create a share with correct permissions assigned
Then reboot DC.
Boot DOS disk using the earlier created Computer account and User account
Type net use * \\computer\share
Use share

If an error of,

Error 5: Access Denied.

is encountered please check the validity of credentials ie usernames, password, computer accounts, share permissions etc, etc...
