Hi,

* W2K/WXP/W2K3/AD support NTLMv2 by default
* NT4 supports NTLMv2 after SP3 or SP4 (not sure which one)
* For W9x install the DSCLIENT
(http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/server/evaluation/news/bulletins/adext
ension.asp)

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,
