    Is it an NT4 laptop? NT 4 (and 9x) machines need to be
    fully upgraded (SPs) and typically require the "Active Directory
    Client Upgrade" in order to meet the Win2003 DC requirement
    for "SMB Signing."

    AD Client Upgrade is mostly known as DSClient on NT and
    you should search the MS Website for that name, e.g., Google:

        [ dsclient nt download site:microsoft.com ]

    Should get you close.
