It's now available from Macmillan Technical Publishing.

The only source of information publicly available on Windows NT
authentication and password-update methods, including NTLMv1, NTLMv2,
NTLMSSP, the Domain Logon Protocol (NETLOGON and NETLOGON "Secure
Channel"), Windows 95 user, NT user and NT Administrative password
changes, and how the SAM database is encrypted when transferred from a PDC
to a BDC.

It also contains information on how to understand, at a very detailed and
boring level, NT Domain traffic (DCE/RPC) such as NT Domain Logons and
running User Manager for Domains.  It also matches official MSDN functions
with unpublished Microsoft APIs, evidence for the existence of which can
only be deduced from examining network traces or by purchasing an NT
Source Code License.

Despite what it says on the cover, this book is, "An expert guide to
improving the efficiency and security *OF* Windows NT".

Enjoy.
