I'm almost sure that you can't log into AD with a DOS workstation. How ever you can logon a server with a local account.

Best regards

you can connect to a NT4 domain with dos, never ever tried with AD though.

try the ms network client for dos...

You can disable SMB signing in the Domain Controller GPO.

We still have a few DOS machines out in our plant and upgraded to 2003 server with no problems.

Here's the actual node within the Default Domain Controller Policy (set this to "disable"):

Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\Security Options\Microsoft Network Server: Digitally sign communications (always)

itaviator is correct you can connect to 2003 if you dissable SMB signing, i'm not sure if you will need NetBeui installed or not.
