NT4 Workstation accessing 2000 DC

I've recently migrated an NT4 domain into our larger 2000 AD Domain. For a
while all workstations (NT4, 2000Pro, XP Pro) could log on and access the
file shares correctly.
However, I have now upgraded the system(C:) and fileshare(F:) disks on the
DC to dynamic and created mirror sets.
All XP, 2000 PCs still work normally. However, the small number of NT4
Workstations now cannot see the shares on the Server, due to "servername is
not accessible" - "Access is denied" messages.
They do still log on to the domain OK using valid domain user accounts.
I've even removed the computer object from AD, re-added it (allowing Pre
Windows 200 computers) , kicked the PC off the domain and re-added it. It
joins the domain fine.

The only change I'm aware of has been that the server disks were upgraded to
dynamic. My understanding of this is that NT wouldn't be able to access these
drives locally (i.e. if directly connected to them via the SCSI adapter) but
would be able to access the shares over the network. Can anybody confirm this?

I've tried adding an entry to the lmhosts file:
<IP address> <ServerName> #PRE #DOM:<netbios domain-name>
This made no difference.

I'd appreciate any possible solutions.

Many thanks

Just some extra info on this:

When accessing the local user manager and searching for users (e.g. to add
domain users to a local group), I get the following message:
"There are currently no logon servers available to service the logon
request. "

In the Event Log on the workstation, the following event appears:
EventID: 7013
Source: Service Control Manager
"Logon attempt with current password failed with the following error:
There are currently no logon servers available to service the logon request.
"

I am logging on to the workstation as a domain admin account.

Also, I am able to ping the server by name and IP address and get replies.
The workstation has SP6 installed.
Thanks

I don't believe that the problem has anything to do with the disks. The first
thing I would check is that wins is correctly configured in the domain in that
all the domain controllers and servers are also wins clients since NT4.0 still
relies on netbios. You might want to double check that the domain controller and
server records are in the wins database. It is also possible that there may be
some incompatible security settings on the server that can not be accessed. See
the link below for details and you can view Local Security Policy on the servers
in question and look at the "effective" settings. The security setting for
additional restrictions for anonymous connections would be one that I would look
at first. --- Steve
