I think that may have fixed it, guess I need to take my own advice. Reboot then call me back. It wasn't the registry change that needed the reboot because the DC had been rebooted many times since that change. It was the GPO. Thanks

Some of this legacy stuff is like that. I'd get a network trace of the failed communication though as a troubleshooting step and see where it actually fails.

In order for old NT clients to authenticate to 08 DC's you have to change the following. I've done so with no success. Am I missing something else? It's been 6 hours since I made the change so policy should have replicated. Nothing in the security event log on the DC other than and audit success when the computer attempted to validate the credentials for the account.
