I assume that means that if you want to, you can disable NTLM. But otherwise, it's still there and fine.

At the moment, too many apps depend on NTLM and NetBT to think about this. Perhaps in Longhorn...

     Thanks! Here is where I read it would break it. Where is talks about "If you do not have a mixed-mode network, you can disable NTLM authentication by swithcing to native mode at a domain controller. This tells me that downlevel clients will not be able to login although everything else I have read indicates what you have mentioned.

          Not at all. NTLM is still used for down level clients. Native mode simply
          means the DCs will no longer talk to NT4 DCs.

          We still have some downlevel clients with those being Windows NT
          workstation. I have read some things indicating that when you switch to
          native mode, it disables NTLM authentication which is needed for the
          downlevel clients. Any imput on this would be appreciated.
