I cannot connect the a Samba server with Vista Home. I think it's because
Microsoft's default security policy is to use only NTLMv2 authentication,
which Samba 2.x doesn't support.

With Vista Business, the secpol.msc program allows you to change the
security policy setting, but this program doesn't seem to exit in Vista
home.

How can I change from NTLMv2 only to Send LM & NTLM - Use NTLMv2 Session
Security If Negotiated in Vista Home Edition?

Thanks for any assistance.

Suggest you ask in the microsoft.public.windows.vista.security newsgroup.

Vista Home doesn't have Local Secority Policy Editor (secpol.msc) so this is
not an option.

If you're running a version of Vista that cannot use secpol.msc, you can edit
the registry instead. Just change the value of
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\LMCompatibilityLevel
from a 3 to a 1.
