Background:
20 or so Windows 2000 laptops connecting to network via VPN (L2TP Cisco PIX). All clients have edited lmhost files with #PRE and #DOM in use. (reason is Windows 2000 does some funky stuff when it comes to enabling WINS over VPN).
Issue:
User are prompted for a username and password when connecting to any domain controller and or file server. (In NT 4 and Win98 they are not prompted, their current logon information is sent, they are only prompted if their is a discrepancy). I know that this is probably a security future in Windows 2000 but how can I turn it off? If I recall it is a lanman reg hack, but I haven’t found the hack any where. Even stranger is that one of my two laptops can’t even get the logon prompt to appear, it gets an error back saying that a logon server was unable to validate my request.
If you can answer/solve both issues, or if I solve either one on my own you and you solve the other one, all 1000 points are yours, otherwise half of them. If any additional information is need please ask.
