I’m beginning to suspect the problem lies with the W2K3 ADS.

We’re still getting intermittent authentication failures from W98
hosts, and we can’t change passwords even from WXP clients. I’m too lazy
to sniff out the packets going to and from ligaya, and
besides, I wouldn’t know where to look if it bites me in the nose.

I’ve tried searching the AD through ldapsearch.
Anonymous ldapsearch can query the directory, but when it
comes to authenticated queries, it’s a no go.

Google has lots of links for me, and I’ve exhausted each one. I’m
itching to post in some mailing lists, but I’m still restraining myself
until I can get *at least* a fix on what’s really happening. Besides, it
could be a W2K3 issue, and from what I have read in the local MS forums,
I doubt if they are any help. So back to dipping my nose on the docs.

Also: I wonder why using the automatic proxy configuration script
works for Mozilla and Firefox (a derivative of Mozilla), and not for IE.
Another MS quirk? I’ve managed to create a workaround, though: edit the
registry, hard-code the proxy configuration there.

Here’s what I did. I created a text file, proxy.reg
containing the following:

I saved it in a public share on the server, created a login script
that invokes

and have it executed every time a user logs in. Should work. I hope.
