I have an NT4 network and just got a new PC with XP Pro installed. I joined it to the domain fine, but the XP client does not seem to inherit the user permissions from the NT4 server (ie. when I run a setup.exe as a domain user, the XP client first asks me to authenticate as a local admin. Then when trying to browse the shares on the NT4 server from inside the setup program, no shares are visible.) I can browse the server from My Network Connections and can see the shares fine (and map drives).This one has me stumped.

I've just added an xp workstation to my NT 4.0 network and found the following tip helpful.

On the XP workstation login as an admin user and open the computer management utility of the administrative tools. open system tools-->event viewer-->system and then scroll down the list in the right pane and double click on the red error icons. I have found that microsoft has placed links to applicable knowlege base articles.

This solved a broken trust issue for me.
