In addition to Herb's comments, there's a setting in the Local Security
Policy on W2k3 machines that are forcing signed packets. You may want to
disable that.

Go into your Def DC Policy, under Local Policies, Security Options, the
setting is called:
Microsoft Network Server: Digitally Sign Communication (always): ENabled.

Disable that.

If you're infrastructure is subnetted, make sure you do NOT disable NetBIOS
anywhere and ensure your WINS topology is functioning correctly.
