I have a W2K SP2 server and receive following message when trying to join it to an NT4.0/AD network:
"The following error occurred attempting to joint the domain 'domainname'. The account is not authorized to login from this station."
We recently converted to AD running parallel to NT4 domain. Any ideas?

It sounds like the root of your problem is that you violated one or more of the following Active Directory rules:
1. An NT4 PDC CANNOT exist in an Active Directory Domain.
2. A Win2K AD Domain Controller CANNOT exist in an NT4 Domain.
3. NT4domains and Win2K AD domains CANNOT "coexist." You have either an NT4 domain with no AD present, or a Win2K AD domain (in mixed mode) with NT4 BDCs present (not any PDCs).

Technet article 281648 talks about this error. It is one involving conflicting NTLM authentication types, between the Win2K server and the NT4 server. The article is here:

(please remove any spaces)
The article tells you what to set in the Local Security Policy for the Win2K server to make this work with NT4.
hope this helps
