RIS 2003 won't work with NTLMv2!!

Why won't RIS 2003 work with NTLMv2 on Domain Controllers?

We are a Child Domain within an Active Directory Forest, we've got 1 Windows
2003 DC, and 2 Windows 2000 SP4 DCs in our Child Domain. All DCs are
Critical and Suggested Patched.

RIS is running on Windows 2003.

RIS works fine as long as this is the NTLM setting on our DCs:

Network security: LAN Manager authentication level

- Send NTLMv2 response only\refuse LM

Unless we are interpreting the article linked below wrong, why won't RIS
work with the following NTLM setting on our DCs:

Network security: LAN Manager authentication level

- Send NTLMv2 response only\refuse LM & NTLM

RIS Security Log throws hundreds of 529 Errors as the RIS client sits
indefinitely at the "Setup is starting Windows" screen.

Microsoft KB Articles 285901 & 327536 appear to apply only to Windows 2000
SP3 and earlier.

If this is an issue with RIS 2003, will it be corrected in W2K3 SP1 (so that
RIS 2003 will work at NTLMv2)? Is there a PSS Patch available until then?

Thank you for any input or help.
