Tiger, Samba and Windows Server 2003
**[Update 05–05–31]**
There is a way to prevet Windows Server 2003 from resetting the settings – it can be found in the thread at computing.net, near the end of the page.
Finally cross-plattform integration works as a charm.

Strangely our Windows Server resets the registry settings fixing the problem after a while thus reverting to the old behavior. Anyone know why this happens?
Ⅰ just upgraded to Tiger, our workgroup upgraded to Windows Server 2003 and now Ⅰ cannot connect to the network drives. From Finder at least. smbclient works as intended and Ⅰ would be happy – but smbclient sucks from a user friendliness perspective. No filename-completion, not one of ncftp’s nice features that make it my preferred ftp client.
Anyhow, when Ⅰ use Finder to connect to the Win-Server Ⅰ always get a dialogue telling me the serve doesn’t exist and asks me if Ⅰ want to delete the alias. Yucks.
(Calum seems to have a similar problem).
However, there seems to be a solution.
MacWindows was of great help – although you need someone with administrator rights on the Server at hand. Especially useful was the Link to MS Knowledge Base as well as this thread at computing.net
(still strange however that smbclient would connect while mount_smbfs would not.
btw: the documentation at apple/man page of mount_smbfs is incorrect, the example files for .nsmbrc not located where they are supposed to be as the man page says. google may help.)
