Hi Michael!

This may not be related to Active Directory at all. Is the server you're 
trying to connect to running a default installation of Windows Server 
2003? If so, it has enabled by default a policy that requires a more 
secure SMB connection (Microsoft Client: Digitally sign communications 
Always). Mac OS X's implementation of SMB doesn't sup****t this more 
secure connection.

Have a look at this page on Microsoft's website 
<http://sup****t.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;887429>.
While 
it doesn't specifically mention Mac OS X, it does the policy and SMB 
clients and explains where to find the policy to disable it.

Alternatively, if you're uncomfortable with lower your server's 
security, you can look into using a different SMB client such as Dave or 
ADmitMac from <http://www.thursby.com>.
You can download 30-day trials 
to test for yourself.

Hope this helps! bill
