I really enjoyed having my 9.0 machines > use my NT domain for authentication right from teh instalation. Any chance of testing this? Do you have an NT DC, or win2k? I have been struggling to get my win2k installation to play along (took me about 4 hours to figure out why it did not like my keyboad and mouse anymore, but the win2k installation didn't have a problem with it). NT is less effort to test, since there are no issues with the "Anonymous access" to the sam etc. It should still work out-the-box with NT, and should work for domain admins against 2k that has been set correctly.
