I've got several servers running on WinNT, W2K or Win2003 with an Active Directory Domain Controller. Most of them are also running File Services for Macintosh. Last month I've upgraded all the Macs (about 50) from OS 9.x to OSX 10.3.3 (and mine is now running 10.3.4). For the users I've put an alias in the dock to some servers via AFP: AFP://server01; AFP://server02; ...
But for some reason browsing through the directory structure is extremly slow compared to OS9.x or OS8.x. So now I'm trying to connect to the servers via SMB. (Looked around for an explanation of this slow thing, but I can't find anything).
I can connect to serveral servers fine (winnt, w2k and win2003), but I always get an error message on Server04 and Server05 (both win2003). It gives me the login window, I put in my name and password click OK and then it tells me "Could not connect to the server because the name or password is not correct." Strange because other servers accept the password and show me the available shares, and they are using the same Active Directory database and via AFP it works.
Also, when I look in the security eventlog, it tells me the logon was succesfully (event ID 680 + 576 + 540) but then immediatly it logs me off (event ID 538).
I've checked the settings for these two servers, done the install myself like the rest of the servers, but I can't find anything different.
Some suggestions on this or maybe also on why OSX is very slow via AFP compared to OS 9.x?
I've tried it with the name of the server; with the IP address; with my prewin2000 name and with the AD name.
Thanks
