No...

I installed a new 2003 server and one of the funtions of the script
that i used was to reset the GPO to default for 2003.

Dont ask me why i did that.

As a result at least two things got elevated to a level that made NT4
incompatible.

1) the Policy object: send LM & NTLM responses was set to NTLM only.
2) use a secure encrypted channel (always) was set.

these two elevated the security beyond NT4s abilities.

I have reset these and after a hour regained access to NT4 servers.

Its all working now.
