Windows Server 2012 accessing Windows 2000 Server, ERROR: The account is not authorized to log in from this station

Good day All,

We recently build a Windows 2012 Server and as part of the Application team requirement they wanted to access Printers on Windows 2000 Server, so when tried to browse and type in \\Server Name we keep getting error as " The account is not authorized to log in from this station" .

So i hopped on to a Windows 2008 Server and when i tried to browse the Server i see i was getting the same error...

As usual browsed across internet and there was couple of articles that matched the error

After some lab setting up and trying all the combinations we figured it out that only changing the below Settings worked..

Administrative Tools ---> Local Security polices, Security options and change the status to disabled for Microsoft network client: Digitally sign communications (always) and Rebooted.


Hope this help someone out there..
