Hi,   I have two documents on Authentication (one from Jan De Clerq and one from Darren Mar-Elia). The first document concerns about "Windows 2000 authentication under the hood" (if I saw correctly Jan is presenting the Windows 2003 version on the DEC!) and the second is an article Darren wrote for WIndows & .NET Magazine (now WIndows IT Pro).

I have tried by changing LOGONSERVER environment variable to force logon to DC, but its not working.
