Don't worry about that it is one of the default settings and will be
ignored by your set up.

What are you trying to connect from ?
Is this client using NTLMv1, this is now turned off by default.

The big problem here is that NT4-style domains aren't getting the love
they once did and it seems that changes made to make AD work better are
having a detrimental affect on them. It also doesn't help that
Microsoft (by accident or otherwise) is making similar changes.

I can only suggest you upgrade to AD.
