Thanks so much! Worked like a charm! Saved me tons of looking, as our whole company is switching to Vista and I had to figure out how to get it to work . Thanks again!

Thanks Yvo!

Worked perfectly once I’d made the change as you described.

Paul,

Start up regedit and change this value:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\LMCompatibilityLevel from a 3 to a 1

“Brilliant!” i thought to myself as I came across this page.
“Blast!” i thought to myself as I reaslised my crappy work computer has Vista Home installed and apparently no gpedit.msc.

Any ideas on how to achieve a similar result on Vista Home?

Thank you very much, sir. I’ve been itching to hack around on Vista, but I’m a Mac guy too, so ran into this problem within moments of getting a Vista machine built. Problem solved.

Thanks again.
