Hi Craig,

Thanks for your posting here.

There is no 1B record in your cache. Please recreate an LMHOSTS file on the
DC and point to the PDC in the source domain. For your convenience, I have
included the following articles.

Primary Domain Controller (PDC) Names Entered in LMHOSTS File Are

Do you have DNS for your WINNT domain? If so, I recommend that you point
your NT PDC to NT DNS and create a secondary zone on Windows 2003 DNS for
the NT DNS.

If the problem still persists, please refer to the following article to
disable RestrictAnonymous registry on WinNT PDC.
