Hi Robert,

MSCLIENT does not support SMB signing.

Go to the Default Domain Controllers Policy and turn off "Microsoft
network server: Digitally sign communications (always)".

But as I said in my original post, the Domain Controller admins and IT policy makers are NOT going to agree to have the security policy downgraded on their networks, and this will be the same for all networks from this point on, for years to come. We have to accept that all communication will be using SMB signing; anyone who doesn't use it will be seen as "weak" on security.

"How to enable Windows 98/ME/NT clients to logon to Windows 2003 based
Domains"
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555038/en-us

But that article just repeats what I already said. If you look at the "DOS" section, it just says "turn off SMB signing". Win98 and NT are completely different because they both support client implementation for SMB signing but DOS does not support it.
