SYMPTOMS
When a computer that is running Microsoft Windows Server 2003 is a member of a Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 domain, the Select button for the default domain remains disabled after you have selected Basic authentication.



CAUSE
The button is enabled only if the DNS client local service sets a DNS domain name for the PrimaryDNSSuffix value of the following registry key:

Because DNS domain names do not exist in Windows NT 4.0, the button remains disabled.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, use one of the following methods:  Type the domain name directly in the Default domain box. Use an administration script to change the DefaultLogonDomain value in the metabase as in the following example:

adsutil.vbs set W3SVC/ /Root/DefaultLogonDomain &quot;EXAMPLEDOMAIN&quot;

Note In this example,  is a placeholder for the instance ID of the Web site.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.
