there'd be plenty to write about which settings to use at what time
etc., but if you have a Win2003 box with SP1 you can run the Security
Configuration Wizard (SCW) to configure a DC role, which - besides many
other things - will ask a few detailed questions as to which clients are
connecting to your network and if you need this or that option etc. =>
it will then suggest the appropriate configuration for the various
LanManager Settings.

Subject: [ActiveDir] LAN Manager Authentication Level setting

I'm having a difficult time determining whether, and to what, I should
change the LAN Manager Authentication Level.

Can someone either describe, or point me to some well-written essay, on
the details of how to determine when it's appropriate to change the
setting?  

What do you need to be aware of in your environment both from
workstation and server persepctives?  What computer relationships
(workstation to server, dial-in client to server, VPN connections, etc)
contribute to this determination?  Is this setting something that's
implemented in more than one place?  Where?

I'm just blocked about this and need a wedge (no, not sledge) to loosen
my understanding of it.


Thanks,
