[Samba] problem connecting DFS-share with winXP - successful with Vista & 7

[David Merhar]

No problem on connecting directly.

Policy update for ODAA (DSS) compliance.  A whole slew of stuff.   
Didn't cause a problem on clients, but DFS (on XP) dropped when policy  
hit server.  (We've tried rolling back on the client).

It is a 2K3 domain.  We could deviate temporarily with the group  
policy were we to identify the offending setting, but running through  
all the permutations and accompanying resets is not an option.

"Could" also be a windows update issue as the entire network was reset  
over the break - but I am pretty certain it's group policy/security  
related.

We're closing in on 1PB worth of SAN, so DFS verges on essential,  but  
maybe this will provide the users the incentive to upgrade to MS7.
