Our office has a Windows domain and one apple user. I recently upgraded the domain controller from Windows 2000 to 2003. The old 2000 domain controller had Serivces for Mac installed and worked fine. The user was able to get to his data and print happily.

Once I had upgraded the user was not able to connect to the new (2003) domain contoller at all. When he tries to browse shares it just times out and finally he gets an error message that says something about "the old object could not be located".

I wondered if anyone had seen an error like this before?
 
mrbusy - is your user running OS 9 or OS X? If he's using a recent version of OS X you can probably add his machine and user id to the domain, and he should be able to access regular windows shares without services for mac.
 
If your user is on OS9 and you have Mac Services installed on the server you might want to try MS UAM (User Authentication Module) on the Mac. You can download from:

I had problems with a Win2K3 server and an OS9 machine until I switched to the MS UAM.
