Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 4.0 SP5
Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 Terminal Server with Citrix Metaframe

Situation

Unable to login from the Terminal box after installing Nds4Nt.  
Terminal server was a member server.

Resolution

Troubleshooting login issues after installing NDS4NT:
Take NDS4NT out of the picture:

1.  Rename the samsrv.dll to samsrv.nov

2.  Rename the mssamsrv.dll to samsrv.dll

3.  If they still can't login, go to step four.  If they can, do a NDS health check before uninstalling and reinstalling NDS4NT.  See TID #3564075 - NDS Health Check Procedures       

4.  At the workstation under the client properties identification, select "change" and then workgroup. Enter a work group name and close the properties window. (reboot if asked)  Re-open the properties and select "change", select domain and put in the domain name. Check "Create a computer account in the domain" and enter the user name and password for a domain administrator.
