Re: IIS 6.0 Windows Integrated Authentication Problem - 401.2 Error

We had a similar issue and the cause was that Windows 2000 clients
(regardless of the IE version) did not support the Kerberos authentication
we configured on the IIS site. Dropping it back to NTLM solved the issue,
but may cause issues for you if you need the double hop authentication.
