But I did, and I still get the same errors. See the two attached files. One
is when I try to use a domain admin-account, and the other one is when I try
with a local admin account on the machine.

Anyway, I used a new folder on the BPC-machine, /test/windows, as I can't
delete /windows/starforge2 for some reason, says something about the
resource being busy. No biggie though.

Windows says Permission denied. What could possibly be wrong?? The Windows
machine in question is a plain vanilla Win2k3 standalone server connected to
an even more plain vanilla AD-domain.

Checked the Security log on the Win-machine. Check the attached file, it
says the logon was successful, but I don’t see any mounts and cd'ing to
/test/windows it's empty. So I tried again, and now Win-machine says the
logon was a failure. WTH's going on here??

One good thing, I guess, is that the log says the BPC-server is using NTLM.
The Win default domain policy says to refuse those older and insecure
protocols and only send and reply using NTLMv2. Could this be problem?

At least I get the password prompt. Guess it's something. 8-/

Thanks.

Well, here's hoping... 8-)
